Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated on the project disclosure page, the IFC is considering an equity investment of up to €15 million in e2vc Fund III C.V. , a VC fund based in Istanbul that is focused on early-stage technology companies in Turkiye and Central and Eastern Europe.

There are no advisory engagements with the Fund.

The Fund is expected to expand access to early-stage venture capital for technology startups in Turkiye and Central and Eastern Europe, addressing persistent gaps in pre-seed and seed financing despite overall growth in venture capital activity. Beyond the project, the Fund’s success is expected to help demonstrate the commercial viability of institutional-scale early-stage venture capital and encourage greater competition in the market.

The Fund’s primary aeras of investment include AI/ML, SaaS, fintech, digital services, and other technology-driven sectors across Turkiye and Central and Eastern Europe. In addition to initial investments, the Fund will provide follow-on financing to support portfolio companies’ growth and development.
