Garanti BBVA and İTÜ ARI Teknokent support tech entrepreneurs

Garanti BBVA and İTÜ ARI Teknokent collaborated to host the ‘Ask Me Anything: Financial Literacy and Investment Readiness’ event in Istanbul. The initiative focused on supporting technology entrepreneurs by addressing the financial dimensions of the startup journey.

The program aimed to help entrepreneurs improve their financial literacy, prepare for investment processes, and better evaluate financial solutions required for business growth. Sibel Kaya, Deputy General Manager of Garanti BBVA, emphasized that transforming a good idea or technology into a sustainable business requires effective financial management alongside product development.

Garanti BBVA provides specialized banking services tailored to the unique cash flows and growth rates of technology startups. This support is part of a holistic approach that includes the Garanti BBVA Partners Tech program, which has been active since 2015.
