Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at ScaleX?
Decisions are made by the founding partners, Dilek Dayınlarlı and Berkay Mollamustafaoglu, alongside Partner Uygar Mesudiyeli. Dayınlarlı brings to the firm her experience from 212 and Groupon, while Mollamustafaoglu's background includes founding OpsGenie, which was acquired by Atlassian.
How does ScaleX source its deals?
ScaleX sources through a combination of the founders' personal networks, Dilek Dayınlarlı's membership in the Kauffman Fellows network, and the firm's own ScaleX Private Market Club, a network built for European private-market decision-makers. The firm's operational track record and founder-to-founder approach also generate inbound referrals from existing portfolio companies.
Does ScaleX participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
ScaleX is structured to make direct, early-stage investments. Publicly available information confirms direct positions in companies such as Altogic, Locomation, Kondukto, and Invidyo. The firm has not announced any fund-of-funds or LP commitments to other venture managers.
What investment stages does ScaleX typically target?
ScaleX focuses on early-stage and seed investments. The firm looks for exceptional founders, often outside the major European tech hubs, and works to support them from the earliest institutional round.
