Requirements
- Turkish ecosystem focus — 'Comprehensive data covering Türkiye and Turkish-founded startups across the globe'
- Free signup; Tools menu > For Startups > 'Add Startup'
- Claimed Profile(s) feature for existing records
- Investor-facing tools (deal flow, programs, demo days) mean profiles should be funding-ready
Prepare before opening the form
- Turkish-founded or Turkey-based company
- Startup details: description, category, founding year, HQ, people, funding data
Workflow
- Sign up at startups.watch
- Tools > For Startups > 'Add Startup' (or claim an existing profile)
- Profile joins the 20k-startup database browsed by investors/accelerators
Watch for
- Turkey-only relevance — no fit for startups outside the Turkish ecosystem
- Audience is investors/ecosystem actors, not consumers
- Investor features are paid/premium-tiered presumably — startup side appears free
What counts as live
The startup has a public profile in the startups.watch database
Not verified
- Whether submissions are moderated
