HASTA Capital

Can Yücaoğlu, as Managing Partner, leads day-to-day origination and investment decisions from the London office. Mehmet Dalman serves as Founder and Chairman, providing strategic oversight and relationship capital drawn from his long career at Commerzbank and his chairmanship of Cardiff City Football Club. The firm operates a partnership structure where both principals are closely involved in structuring major transactions.

HASTA originates deals through the personal and professional networks of its principals in Turkish corporate and financial circles, rather than through competitive auction processes. The firm targets transactions where European-sourced capital can solve a specific financing gap for mid-market Turkish enterprises, particularly in export-oriented industries. This relationship-driven origination model relies on Yücaoğlu's ties to Turkish industrial groups and Dalman's reputation in European banking.

HASTA Capital focuses on direct deal origination rather than making fund commitments to third-party managers. The firm structures bespoke private credit, real estate, and special situations transactions, often including equity co-investment rights alongside senior secured lending positions. This direct model allows HASTA to control underwriting and governance terms on each deployment.

HASTA targets mid-market Turkish enterprises and asset-level opportunities, not early-stage venture or large-cap public equities. The firm operates in private credit and special situations, often providing growth or transitional capital to export-oriented industrial companies, logistics real estate developers, and energy transition infrastructure projects. Distressed and non-performing loan portfolios from Turkish banks also fall within the firm's mandate.
