Among Istanbul app startups in this snapshot (19 rows), the largest disclosed round is TaleMonster Games’ $30M on 2025-12-02. That $30M level is tied with Grand Games’ $30M on 2025-01-09, while most other disclosed amounts sit much lower—for example, Metatime’s $11M (2023-03-21) and Mega Fortuna’s $10M (2025-01-15), with several smaller seed rounds like Paxie Games’ $3M (2023-04-06) and Hadi’s $5M (2023-04-13). The other standout is Spark’s “undisclosed” Seed on 2023-09-01, which prevents a clean lower bound from disclosed figures.
The dates cluster tightly toward the top of the window: 4 of the 19 rounds fall in 2025 (from 2025-01-09 through 2025-12-02). Stage naming is fragmented—Series Unknown appears 5 times (TaleMonster Games 2025-12-02, Mega Fortuna 2025-01-15, Veloxia Technology 2023-08-07, plus two more Series Unknown entries on the list), and “undisclosed” amounts appear 4 times (makromusic 2024-11-11, Spark 2023-09-01, Veloxia Technology 2023-08-07, Hyperlab 2022-05-17). Overall, disclosed rounds span from 2020-07-08 (Benzinlitre) through 2025-12-02 (TaleMonster Games).

Frequently asked
What are the largest disclosed funding rounds in this Istanbul apps list, and how do they compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amount is $30M, held by TaleMonster Games on 2025-12-02 (and also Grand Games on 2025-01-09). Outside that $30M level, the next-largest disclosed amounts visible here are $18M (Agave Games, 2024-12-17), $11M (Metatime, 2023-03-21), and $10M (Mega Fortuna, 2025-01-15).
Do rounds cluster in a narrow recent window based on the round dates shown?
Yes. Four of the 19 entries are dated in 2025 (2025-01-09 through 2025-12-02), including two $30M rounds (Grand Games 2025-01-09 and TaleMonster Games 2025-12-02). The broader range in this view runs from 2020-07-08 (Benzinlitre) to 2025-12-02 (TaleMonster Games).
Is the stage mix dominated by one label, or is it split across multiple stages?
Seed is the most frequent stage label in the 19 rows, with multiple Seed rounds including Magfi ($1M on 2024-09-03), Hadi ($5M on 2023-04-13), Paxie Games ($3M on 2023-04-06), and others. However, Series Unknown also appears frequently (5 entries), and amounts are undisclosed in 4 rows (e.g., makromusic on 2024-11-11 and Spark on 2023-09-01), which adds structural uncertainty when comparing stages by disclosed dollar size.
Are there any outliers in disclosed amount size that stand out from the rest of the disclosed figures?
TaleMonster Games’ $30M (2025-12-02) is the clearest upside outlier on disclosed dollars, sitting far above many other disclosed Seed rounds like Sertifier’s $300K (2021-09-14) and UniGPA’s $100K (2021-09-10). The lowest disclosed amounts visible are $100K at UniGPA (2021-09-10) and Benzinlitre (2020-07-08), while several entries remain undisclosed (e.g., Hyperlab 2022-05-17).
Do app startups in this list show a consistent city pattern, or are there geographic variations within the page?
All 19 rows list Istanbul, Turkey as the location (including companies like Mega Fortuna, Grand Games, and Benzinlitre), so there is no within-page geographic variation to segment beyond the shared city.
