How does the Filiz investment work?
The 3,000,000 TRY investment is paid in two tranches for a stake of about 7% on a pre-money valuation of roughly 40,000,000 TRY (43,000,000 TRY post-money): 60% at the start of the programme and 40% after Demo Day. Founder shares are subject to four-year vesting with a one-year cliff.
What we do not ask for
- Board majority or veto rights
- Transfer of intellectual property; all rights stay in the company
