Valyuu was one of the first investments we did with GEC Capital. At that time co-founder & CEO Ferhat Topuz and his team had not even launched their marketplace model, so it was early-early, but we had convidence in the founders and their domain expertise. Happy we did!<\/p>\n

Good to know: GEC Capital is expanding its fund to \u20ac5M, so we have some room left for interested investors. Please contact Thomas Mensink (firstname@goldeneggcheck.com) in case you’d like to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
