What Webrazzi does

Webrazzi is a privately held Turkish technology and startup ecosystem media platform founded in 2006 and headquartered in Istanbul. Operating under the legal entity Crenvo Bilişim Danışmanlık Reklam ve Tic. A.Ş., the company runs a multi-channel media business built around a flagship news portal (webrazzi.com) covering eight topic categories — Digital, E-Commerce, Venture Capital, Mobile, Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Investment, and Web3 — supplemented by Webrazzi TV video content (including the 'Yapay Zeka Gündemi' AI Agenda series), the Webrazzi Bülten daily email newsletter, and native iOS and Android mobile applications. Webrazzi also operates Webrazzi Insights, a premium B2B research and subscription product publishing deep-dive reports such as the Europe & Turkey Technology and Investment Report, and runs four annual in-person conferences in Istanbul: Webrazzi Summit, Webrazzi Fintech, Webrazzi AI (inaugural 2026 edition), and New HR Summit. The company further deploys capital into early-stage startups through its corporate venture fund Webrazzi GSYF, which led a $1M pre-seed round in GameByte in January 2026.

Revenue is generated across five streams: ticket sales and corporate sponsorships for the four annual conferences, paid B2B subscriptions to Webrazzi Insights, display and sponsored-content advertising on the news portal (with Google, Meta, and LinkedIn trackers in use), commercial electronic messaging through the newsletter, and equity returns from Webrazzi GSYF investments. Distribution is anchored on owned digital channels (web, mobile apps, email, social media on LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook) plus event-based demand generation at Istanbul venues including Wyndham Grand Levent. The customer base spans three primary segments: tech professionals and startup founders (long-tail individual readers), enterprises and corporates (B2B sponsors and Insights subscribers), and startups/investors (ecosystem coverage recipients and GSYF portfolio). Geographically Webrazzi operates primarily in Turkey with a secondary UK presence following the February 2021 acquisition of London-based Tech.eu, and references coverage of broader European markets via the Insights research line. The company is founder-led (Arda Kutsal, Founder and CEO) with a small team of 11-50 employees and no disclosed institutional investors.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Tech.eu: London-based European technology media outlet covering startups, investment, and policy. Although now a Webrazzi subsidiary, in market terms it is a directly comparable English-language European tech news brand targeting the same reader persona of founders, investors, and ecosystem participants.
• The Next Web (TNW): European-headquartered technology media company combining news coverage with the TNW Conference and premium research. Closely comparable in combining a digital news site, large annual tech conference, and a B2B insights/research product serving the European tech ecosystem.
• Sifted: European startup media brand owned by the Financial Times covering venture capital, technology, and the European startup ecosystem. Highly comparable in audience (European founders, VCs, corporate innovators) and in combining editorial coverage with subscriber-supported premium content.
• Tech in Asia: Asia-focused technology and startup media company combining news, jobs, an events business, and research reports. Comparable in its regional focus on a single large emerging market's tech ecosystem, multi-revenue model (media + events + premium research), and conference portfolio.
• e27: Southeast Asian startup media platform covering tech news, hosting flagship events (e.g., Echelon), and offering data/research products. Directly comparable in combining regional tech media, an events business, and a startup/investor community across an emerging-market ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• TechCrunch: The leading global English-language technology media brand covering startups, funding, and product launches. Highly comparable in editorial format (news, events like TechCrunch Disrupt, premium research) and target audience (founders, VCs, enterprise tech buyers), but at materially larger global scale.
• Wired: Global technology and culture media brand with large editorial scale, premium subscriptions, and high-value event programs (Wired conferences). Comparable in combining tech journalism with subscriber-supported premium content and branded events, though at a global, English-language scale.
• Crunchbase: Data and media platform covering startups, funding rounds, and company intelligence with a subscription research product (Crunchbase Pro). Comparable in monetizing startup/investment data and editorial coverage through a tiered B2B subscription model.

Regional players

• YourStory: India's largest media platform for startups and entrepreneurs, combining news, video, and events. Comparable as a regional language/regional market tech media company serving founders and investors, but focused on the Indian ecosystem rather than Turkey's.
• Girişim Haber: Turkish-language startup and technology news site operating in the same domestic ecosystem as Webrazzi. Comparable as a regional player covering Turkish entrepreneurship and tech, but with a narrower event/research product offering than Webrazzi.
