100 Milyon Dolar+ exit yapmış Türk girişimcilerin patikaları
Başarılı girişimcilerin ortak özellikleri oluyor. Bu girişimciler yürüdükleri yollarda birer patika açıyor. Kuş bakışı bu patikalardan oluşan resme baktığımızda ise bize adeta bir ısı haritası veriyor.
Silicon Valley has the PayPal Mafia.
Turkiye’s gaming ecosystem now has its own versions. After writing about the Peak Games Mafia, I wanted to look at another powerful talent network shaping Turkiye's mobile gaming story. https://t.co/bIB5XPvDgt
Product, UA, monetization, creative testing, data, live ops and global publishing capabilities are moving from one generation of teams to the next. Talent leaves, starts new companies, builds new teams and compounds the ecosystem.
Peak Games started the momentum.
- August 2025: Two turkish founders launch a mobile game called Pixel Flow
- January 2026: They raise a ~$5M seed round
- February 2026: They sell a majority stake for ~$500M
Turkey is cooking insane founders right now
