QNBEYOND Ventures

QNBEYOND Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of QNB Finansbank, part of Qatar National Bank Group — one of the largest banking institutions in the Middle East and Africa, with presence in more than 30 countries serving 24 million customers. Established in 2019 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, QNBEYOND Ventures makes minority investments in seed and early-stage technology startups in Turkey and globally, and also commits capital as an LP into select venture funds. The fund is led by General Partner Derya Duner. Check sizes typically range from $200,000 to $750,000 targeting Seed and Series A rounds across fintech, regtech, insurtech, SaaS, AI, big data, real estate tech, and agritech — all chosen to position QNB Finansbank advantageously in the future of banking and financial services. The fund has 11 disclosed portfolio companies to date. Notable investments include Ikas (Turkish omnichannel e-commerce SaaS, which raised a $20 million Series A in April 2024), HockeyStack (B2B revenue analytics, which raised a $20 million Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners in January 2025), and Kiralarsın, a Turkish rental marketplace. QNBEYOND operates as one of three units within a broader corporate entrepreneurship platform that also includes an internal innovation program and an accelerator, creating a pipeline from early mentorship through to direct equity investment. Portfolio companies benefit from access to QNB Group's global banking infrastructure and regional distribution across Europe and the MENA region, providing growth leverage that extends well beyond the fund's financial commitment.
