Goatstarter Ventures is a venture studio that builds its own products and backs founders already generating revenue. We built ARspar and sold it to Floorplanner. Today we're growing a portfolio that includes PrototipAL and GOAT. $5M+ in total revenue, 100K+ users, 2 exits.
The classic fund: apply, wait, maybe a check. We do the opposite. We build together for 8 weeks and back the ones who actually ship. Risk gets reduced with customers, not with a pitch deck.
Esad and Burhan built ARspar and sold it to Floorplanner. They served Lamborghini, Red Bull and Westwing. Every founder we back is coached by someone who has actually shipped and sold a product.
We have a community of hundreds of Turkish founders across Turkey, Germany, Europe and the US. 225K+ followers, 535+ DOA members. That distribution channel simply doesn't exist anywhere else.
AI product development, automation and growth consultancy for companies and founders. Hands-on, from a team that built and sold ARspar.
Selective investment into revenue-generating Turkish founders. The Goatstarter Founders Fund opens at the end of 2026.
Companies Esad and Burhan build themselves (like PrototipAL). Started inside the holding with our own team.
We're opening our first fund, made up of alumni and outside angels, at the end of 2026. Reach out for LP participation, mentor network, press partnerships or strategic conversations.
