Lima Ventures

Lima Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Istanbul, founded in 2020. It invests at the pre-seed and seed stages - the earliest points at which external equity capital is typically raised - backing technology-driven startups and technology-enabled business models, with a stated interest in companies positioned for global growth. Sector coverage includes B2B technology and early-stage startups more broadly.

Beyond capital, the firm combines investment with founder support and early startup services, describing its model as a hands-on partnership with founders. This dual approach - financing alongside operational assistance for companies at formative stages - is the central element of its stated strategy.

Its investment activity is conducted in part through Lima Next, an investment vehicle for startup investing launched in April 2022, according to Dealroom data. The firm's geographic presence is centred on Istanbul and Turkey, though its stated mandate extends to startups with international growth ambitions.
