Across the 14 most recent Izmir-funded entries shown (oldest: 2022-11-08 at Trader Bag; most recent: 2026-01-07 at Defy), the largest disclosed round is Omega Electronics Industry and Trade’s $1M (2025-10-07). That top figure is matched by two other disclosed $1M rounds (TURKWISE on 2024-11-01 and Forwardie on 2023-08-09), while the rest of the disclosed amounts cluster well below $1M (e.g., $4M at Mage, $400K at Defy and Skymod Technology, and $100K at Trader Bag). A notable funding-data edge also appears: four entries are not comparable by amount because they’re marked undisclosed (Blueit 2025-05-22, UptechLabs 2024-01-12, Mechanica 2023-12-19, and Selfweller 2023-10-25), and two entries use “Series Unknown” (Blueit 2025-05-22 and Toon Metal Games 2023-12-26).
Temporal concentration is visible in the mid-2024 to mid-2025 stretch: multiple Seed rounds land between 2024-04-17 (Mage) and 2025-11-26 (Skymod Technology), with two recent $400K Seeds in late 2025 (Defy 2026-01-07 is also a $400K Seed). Sector coverage also clusters around IT/software and adjacent categories: AI appears in three entries (Skymod Technology, Selfweller, and Defy), and “Seed” is the most common labeled stage among disclosed rounds, with Pre-Seed also recurring (Omega is Pre-Seed; Selfweller and Scoutli are Pre-Seed).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round in Izmir here, and how does it compare to other disclosed amounts?
The largest disclosed amount is Mage’s $4M Seed round dated 2024-04-17. Above that, only a few discrete disclosed points reach the $1M level (Omega Electronics Industry and Trade at $1M on 2025-10-07, TURKWISE at $1M on 2024-11-01, and Forwardie at $1M on 2023-08-09), while other disclosed amounts are smaller (e.g., $400K at Defy on 2026-01-07 and Skymod Technology on 2025-11-26).
Do the most recent deals cluster into a narrow time window rather than being evenly spread?
Yes. In the late-2024 through late-2025 window, there are multiple consecutive entries: Mage (2024-04-17), TURKWISE (2024-11-01), Portfoy Financial Tech Inc. (2025-10-13), Skymod Technology (2025-11-26), and Defy (2026-01-07) are all within roughly 21 months, with the latest four dated from 2025-10-13 onward.
Are there meaningful outliers in sector or deal size among the disclosed amounts?
Deal size is the clearest outlier: Mage’s $4M (2024-04-17) sits above the next disclosed $1M tier (Omega, TURKWISE, and Forwardie). On the sector side, AI appears across three entries (Skymod Technology on 2025-11-26; Selfweller on 2023-10-25; Defy on 2026-01-07), whereas several other categories appear only once in this set (e.g., Gaming at Mage and Transportation at Forwardie).
How much of the list can’t be compared by amount because of undisclosed or unknown classifications?
Four of the 14 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (Blueit on 2025-05-22, UptechLabs on 2024-01-12, Mechanica on 2023-12-19, and Selfweller on 2023-10-25), and two rows use “Series Unknown” (Blueit 2025-05-22 and Toon Metal Games 2023-12-26). That means size- and stage-based comparisons are limited to the remaining disclosed and labeled entries.
Which stages dominate this Izmir set, and how does that interact with the disclosed-vs-undisclosed mix?
Among rows with labeled stages, Seed appears most frequently (Defy, Skymod Technology, Portfoy Financial Tech Inc., TURKWISE, Mage, Toon Metal Games, Mechanica, and Trader Bag). Pre-Seed is also present in multiple entries (Omega on 2025-10-07 with $1M; Selfweller on 2023-10-25 with undisclosed; Scoutli on 2023-09-18 with $160K), while undisclosed amounts disproportionately affect cross-stage comparison (e.g., Blueit and UptechLabs are undisclosed at Series Unknown or Seed, and Selfweller is undisclosed at Pre-Seed).
