What Mynet does

Mynet (legal entity: MYNET A.Ş.) is a Turkish internet portal founded in 1999 and headquartered in Istanbul, serving Turkish-speaking consumers as a horizontal content aggregator. The platform combines a web portal (mynet.com) with mobile applications distributed across Google Play, Apple App Store, and Huawei App Gallery, offering integrated coverage of news, sports, finance, entertainment, gaming, astrology, lifestyle, email, and utility services. Its product portfolio spans core properties such as Mynet Haber, Mynet Finans, Mynet Express, myMani, and Mynet'in Sesi (citizen journalism), supplemented by a 'Mynet AI' product layer featuring generative AI utilities including Chef GPT, Dini Bilgi Rehberi (religious information guide), Soran Anne (parenting Q&A), and Tatil Bulucu (holiday finder).

Underlying technology is a web-based portal platform with mobile extensions; the stated differentiator is ease-of-use implementation of AI features rather than proprietary model development. In February 2026, the company entered a B2B infrastructure dimension through a partnership with STL (Sterlite Technologies) for the €50.2 million Intacture data center fiber optic deployment in Trentino, Italy, partially funded under Italy's PNRR national recovery plan, demonstrating capabilities in advanced connectivity deployments beyond its traditional consumer media scope.

The business model blends three revenue streams: (1) advertising as the primary stream across display, sponsored content, and affiliate placements on news, sports, finance, and lifestyle sections; (2) subscription and loyalty revenue through Mynet Abonelik and the myMani rewards/loyalty program; and (3) B2B professional services revenue derived from infrastructure and connectivity projects such as the STL collaboration. GTM motion is direct-to-consumer for the portal plus direct enterprise sales for B2B infrastructure. Customer base is the mass-market Turkish general consumer for the portal segment, with no named enterprise or SMB customer logos disclosed; ownership is not publicly identified and the company operates privately as MYNET A.Ş.
