Among the 10 most recent advertising-focused funding rounds in Turkey, the largest disclosed amount is Shubuo’s $1M Seed on 2026-04-14, which is meaningfully higher than the next disclosed figures (e.g., Edvido’s $600K on 2021-08-16 and Adsby’s $530K on 2023-10-11). Most of the remaining disclosed amounts sit in the $300K–$600K range, with MotionWorks at $300K (2023-07-06) and LIVAD Technologies at $400K (2021-09-07), making Shubuo the only disclosed round at $1M in this view.
Timing and location also cluster: every listed company is based in Istanbul (including districts like Sariyer and Besiktas), and several rounds cluster across the middle of the window from 2022-04-19 (Portuma) through 2023-10-11 (Adsby). However, stage and disclosure are less uniform: 4 of 10 entries show “undisclosed” amounts (Playable Factory on 2025-02-06, Grower on 2025-01-23, Adgager on 2023-09-05, and Royiva on 2022-10-08), and 2 of 10 are labeled “Series Unknown” (Playable Factory and Adgager). The rows span 2021-08-16 (Edvido) through the most recent 2026-04-14 (Shubuo).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Turkey advertising list, and is it an outlier versus the rest?
Shubuo’s $1M Seed (Istanbul, 2026-04-14) is the largest disclosed amount shown and stands above the rest of the disclosed figures, with the next-highest disclosed amounts at $600K (Edvido, 2021-08-16) and $530K (Adsby, 2023-10-11). The other disclosed amounts cluster between $300K and $400K (MotionWorks $300K on 2023-07-06; LIVAD Technologies $400K on 2021-09-07).
Are these ad-tech rounds concentrated in a single geography, or spread across multiple cities?
Geography is tightly concentrated in Istanbul. Every row lists an Istanbul base (e.g., Sariyer for Adgager, Portuma, and Playable Factory’s Besiktas address is still within Istanbul), with no other Turkish cities appearing in the 10 rows shown.
Do the most recent closings cluster in the latest part of the timeline?
Yes, several rounds fall close to each other near the top of the timeline: Shubuo is most recent on 2026-04-14 ($1M), followed by Playable Factory on 2025-02-06 (undisclosed) and Grower on 2025-01-23 (undisclosed). Earlier entries extend back to 2021-08-16 (Edvido, $600K), but the latest-year concentration is visible in the 2025–2026 entries.
