Startups.watch is a market intelligence and analytics platform established in June 2015 by founder Serkan Ünsal. The firm is dedicated to tracking the Turkish startup ecosystem, offering detailed data and insights. Serkan Ünsal brings a robust background to the company, with an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from METU and an MBA from Istanbul Bilgi University. His career includes roles in project and product management at Ericsson Turkey's incubation center and Turkcell. Prior to Startups.watch, Ünsal founded and successfully exited another company, dakick.com, and has authored four books on digital entrepreneurship.
The company operates as a data-driven research platform, providing subscribers with information on Turkish startups, venture capital transactions, and ecosystem trends. Its core business revolves around a subscription-based model, offering different access levels such as a free tier for limited data and premium PRO and ENTERPRISE plans for full access. The platform serves a global client base that includes venture capital firms, corporations, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs. Revenue is generated from annual subscriptions, with pricing starting at $600 per year for the Pro version.
The platform's key service is its dashboard, which allows users to list startups, founders, and investor portfolios, as well as track acquisitions, valuations, and the activities of accelerators and science parks. Startups.watch covers over 110 industry verticals, including FinTech, Artificial Intelligence, and EdTech. A significant differentiator is its data verification process; the company cross-references information with official chamber of commerce data to ensure accuracy. Data is sourced from a network of investors, technoparks, acceleration programs, and directly from entrepreneurs, which is then officially verified.
