Backing the Second Wave of Turkish Mobile Gaming
A $30M early-stage fund backing Türkiye's next generation of gaming founders.
The first generation built global giants. Their best people are now founding studios of their own. We call it the school effect. We exist to fund it.
Turkish studios have repeatedly carried games to the top of the global charts. That experience is now compounding: operators, designers and growth leads who helped build category-defining companies are founding studios of their own — sharper, faster and global from day one.
Drilo backs these founders at day zero with first checks of $500K–$1.5M, then stays close through launch, scale and the rounds that follow. We invest in Turkish gaming founders wherever they are in the world.
UA Financing
Exclusive partnerships with user-acquisition financing funds in Türkiye and worldwide — so winning games can scale spend without selling the company to do it.
Global Introductions
When it's time for Series A and B, we put founders in the room with the global funds that lead them.
The Network
One of the strongest networks in the ecosystem — founders, publishers, platforms and strategic acquirers. The relationships that carry a studio from first build all the way to exit.
Doğukan Çetin
A fund manager for six years, he has backed many of Türkiye's mobile game studios — and taken several of them through to exit. Before that, four years in M&A at Deloitte.
Umut Yaka
Founder of Swipeline, Türkiye's largest startup and technology media company. Built the platform the ecosystem follows — and the network the second wave will be built on.
Building theSecond Wave?
We move fast — and we read every deck. If you're a gaming founder with Turkish roots, anywhere on earth, we want to hear from you.
