The TİM-TEB Start-Up House programs are designed to eliminate the following issues of the Turkish Start-Up ecosystem :

  • The Start-Up ecosystem cannot develop in small cities due to limited resources.
  • While the number of entrepreneurs increases, the number of value-added, commercialized, innovative and technological start-ups do not increase proportionally
  • The number of Angel Investors, Investor Networks and Venture Capitalists do not meet the current need.
  • Government incentives and supports are not widely known and used.
  • Trainings given by the incubation centers in the Start-Up ecosystem only appeal to a standard Start-Up level.
  • The TİM-TEB Startup House makes a major contribution to the country's economy in the fields of technology and exports thanks to its different programs which are Türkiye's most comprehensive and extensive ones that are designed in line with its problems and needs.
