Sabancı ARF Almost Ready to Fly

Sabancı ARF Almost Ready to Fly helps startups to take off.

Every entrepreneur has unique opportunities and circumstances. To take off, they need the right connections, mentorship, and financial support. We invite them to Sabancı ARF, which empowers and accelerates the commercialization period of entrepreneurs. Sabancı ARF is a 20-week acceleration platform open to all Sabancı Group employees and early-stage external entrepreneurs, offering customized accelerator support tailored for each startup.

During the 20-week program, we conduct intense mentorship sessions to help founders market their products, refine their teams and business models, achieve product/market fit through PoC opportunities with Sabancı Holding’s Group Companies, and scale their startups into high-growth businesses. After 20 weeks, the Sabancı ARF Jury decides whether to invest an additional $120,000 in seed funding. The program concludes with Sabancı ARF On Air Demo Day, where startups meet potential investors and engage with the ecosystem.
