During his panel session, Mustafa Kopuk reviewed DOMiNO Ventures’ 2025 performance and shared outlooks and targets for 2026.
Looking back at 2025
We closed a high pace and disciplined year. After evaluating thousands of startups, we completed 11 investments, supported our founders with 3 follow on investments, and built a strong portfolio across AI, deeptech, cybersecurity, and B2B.
Looking ahead to 2026
We are pursuing a more selective and strategic growth path. With plans for 8 new investments and 6 follow on investments, we are increasing early access to US focused, globally scalable startups, expanding our global VC network, and continuing to focus on Applied AI, deeptech, and category defining B2B platforms.
Many thanks to the startups.watch team and Serkan Unsal for this valuable gathering.
