History
Yasar Corporation opened its doors in 2003. Since then, our team has facilitated successful mergers and acquisitions as well as management consulting projects. This gave us an exceptional level of enthusiasm, dedication, and a nuanced perspective on global markets. In 2010, we transitioned from working with large multinationals to focusing on the global startup ecosystem and supporting entrepreneurs on their early-stage financing and mentorship journeys. By choosing to specialize in the early stage private equity, we are entirely devoted to it; that we understand the challenges that await our partners. We protect our portfolio companies as if they were your own. That is the energy that sets us apart.
