Turkiye’s Dolubatarya, focusing on electric vehicles, batteries, and charging technologies, secures its first investment round with a valuation of $1 million from Hayat Finans.
Turkiye’s burgeoning digital media startup scene continues to attract attention, with Dolubatarya, specializing in electric vehicle (EV), battery, and charging news, announcing a significant investment milestone. Yesterday, we highlighted Sports Digitale’s funding in sports media ventures; today, Dolubatarya stands out in the realm of EVs, batteries, and charging infrastructure.
Operating for over four years in the field of EV, battery, and charging technologies, Dolubatarya completed its investment round in a profit-sharing partnership with Hayat Finans. This funding round aims to bolster Dolubatarya’s expansion plans, particularly enhancing its content production under the ‘Licarco’ brand for the U.S. market and establishing Deeby in technology journalism.
Founder of Dolubatarya, Bilal Akgunduz, expressed gratitude to his team members, Ibrahim Halil, Gokhan, Mustafa, and Sadrettin, for their dedication. Akgunduz emphasized ambitions beyond Turkiye, aiming to establish Dolubatarya as a cornerstone of EV-focused media globally. He also credited Hayat Finans, including Samet Turkoglu and Ayse Irmak Alkan, for their pivotal role in enabling Dolubatarya’s pioneering profit-sharing investment model in Turkiye.
This investment underscores the growing importance of niche digital media startups in Turkiye and their potential impact on global technology journalism.
