Ekmob, a local startup that accelerates the sales processes of companies by digitizing the SFA (Sales Force Automation) software it has implemented, has completed its pre-Series A bridge investment tour.
Local startup Ekmob, which is the industry leader in Turkiye with its sales team automation software, completed the bridge investment tour supported by Turkiye’s leading funds at the general assembly, where we also attended and witnessed those moments by taking the opportunity to take photos personally.
Finberg, TechOne VC, Yildiz Tekno GSYO and serial angel investor Koray Gultekin Bahar attended the pre-Series A bridge investment tour.
Ekmob, which continues to work actively in the Eastern Europe and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, aims to open its UK and Netherlands offices by the end of the year with this investment.
To date, Ekmob, supported by Turkiye’s leading investors and funds, designs the digitalization of companies’ sales processes, both increasing the sales opportunities of companies and providing cost advantages. Ekmob Founder and CEO Sunay Sener, who stated that the sales teams using Ekmob SFA, increase the opportunities they can obtain by planning their daily activities better, in terms of quality and quantity, explains their goals with the investment as follows:
“Ekmob provides cost advantages to companies by reducing the time spent at the customer. With this investment, we aim to grow our 100% Turkish-sourced software, which we have offered in Turkiye, Eastern Europe and the MENA region, to grow in Europe as well.”
‘Open to foreign investors’
Ihsan Elgin, Member of the Board of Finberg, who participated in the investment tour, said that they have been following Ekmob for a long time, which brings an innovative approach to field sales operations by digitizing the dealer and sales processes of businesses. Emphasizing that, in addition to the synergy with Fibabanka, as Finberg, they will accelerate Ekmob’s overseas growth, Elgin said,
“With this investment, in which we position ourselves as a strategic partner rather than an investor, our aim is to enable Ekmob to reach new customers rapidly in different regions and to open up to foreign investors in its next round”
‘Makes companies more efficient’
Yigit Arslan, Managing Partner of TechOne VC, explained that the number and depth of initiatives working on workplace productivity gained momentum after the pandemic, and said:
“End-to-end monitoring and optimization of field sales processes is both a difficult problem to solve and a great reward for companies when solved. Ekmob makes this process efficient and very easy through its product with high integration capabilities. Ekmob’s successful team has managed to occupy an important place in the industry so far. Together with the bridge investment tour, they plan to add new ones to their success, especially abroad. As Techone VC, we are happy to accompany them on this journey.”
‘We will be partners in the success story’
YTU Yildiz Technopark Deputy General Manager Isa Turgut Inci stated that they made their 12th investment in Ekmob. Expressing that Ekmob is an initiative whose success they have been following for a long time at Yildiz Technopark, Inci said:
“We wanted them to show their successful sales graph in Turkiye in the international arena as well. We met with Sunay Sener, the founding partner of the company, and listened to their vision for the future and decided to become a partner in Ekmob’s success story. Today, we have added the 12th ring to our investment series that we started in December 2022. We are happy to be together with the important funds of our country in this investment tour and to contribute to an important value coming out of our technopark.”
