Why we invested
General language models fall short on Turkish corporate terminology and data privacy. Anlam Lab's on-premise, domain-adapted models meet a clear need in banking and the public sector. Half of the team are researchers with academic NLP backgrounds.
Sarmal Ventures handles press and collaboration requests about portfolio companies through its platform team; the company's latest metrics are published in the annual report.
