Examination of Startups Investments by Receiving the Most Investment Sectors: The Case of Turkish Startup Ecosystem

Abstract

Startups, which are structures where the concepts of research and development, innovation and technology come together, can be described as innovative initiatives with the ability to grow rapidly and scale. The increase in the number of startups, whose importance and effectiveness are increasing day by day in the economies of developed and developing countries, is very important for the country's economies. For this reason, the support provided to startups by the public, private sector, universities, and non-governmental organizations is increasing day by day in almost every country, in parallel with the importance of startups. In this study, the total investments and investment numbers made in startups in Turkey over the years were examined specifically for startup sectors, using the document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, and data obtained from secondary sources. When the data obtained from the study was examined, it was concluded that the sectors where the most startups were founded, and the most investments were made were the sectors with more successful startups and unicorns
