  • Paydas — Paydas is a prop-fintech startup enabling individuals to invest digitally in income and appreciation of selected global real estate.
  • Sentez — An autonomous product studio. Self-operating apps and Qualia, the company brain & AI employee.
  • Komunite — Komünite is Turkey's methodology-driven digital entrepreneurship platform, founded in 2021 to transform how independent creators and micro-entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. Rather than relying on innate talent or chance, Komünite champions a systematic approach to venture building—what it calls "Metot Girişimcilik"(Methodical Entrepreneurship)—where learnable frameworks replace guesswork and data-driven iteration replaces intuition.The platform operates across three integrated verticals:• Komünite (Core Platform): An online community of digital entrepreneurs, content creators, designers, and freelancers supported by 36 specialized forum channels, structured mentorship programs, and regular events including Tool Night, AMA sessions, Speed Networking, and Founder's Talk. Members gain access to educational resources, collaborative project opportunities, and the Katma Değer Fonu—an in-house investment fund providing $2,000–$7,000 in seed capital to promising digital ventures in exchange for 30% equity stakes.• Komünite Space: A 160m² physical innovation hub located in Vadistanbul, Istanbul, featuring event capacity for 80 seated or 160 standing attendees, a professional video production studio, and flexible workspace configurations. The venue hosts workshops, corporate training programs, and sector-specific networking events that bridge online community engagement with real-world collaboration.• Lokomotif AI: The corporate training arm delivering generative AI programs to enterprises. Offerings include AI Leadership seminars for executives, AI Literacy workshops for teams, AI Strategy development programs, and monthly AI Trends briefings. Lokomotif AI also provides automation consulting and custom AI-powered digital product development services.Komünite addresses a structural gap in Turkey's entrepreneurship ecosystem: the isolation, resource scarcity, and methodological uncertainty that constrain independent digital creators. Through its rolling fund model, physical infrastructure, and enterprise training revenue streams, the platform has built a self-reinforcing ecosystem where corporate clients fund community growth, successful ventures generate reinvestable returns, and members progress from learners to mentors to founders.The platform's venture studio arm, Komünite Stüdyo, develops digital products for external clients while serving as a proving ground for member talent, matching projects with specialists from its internal database based on demonstrated competencies and track records.

Ni-CAT believes that the speed of EV transition is still not enough to prevent global warming and replace carbon-based fuels in near future, and it is not related to money or resources. Webelieve that speeding up EV transition is possible with our novel methodology, which combines three approximation to the solution: our unique AI-assisted materials research, digitalized reactor farm and our novel surfactant-assisted synthesis.As the electrification of the automotive industry expands, we deliver state-of-the-art technologies to meet the industry’s high-quality standards. To help our customers to step up the EV transition, we will be working on our research and development of lower-cost/higher performance, ultra-high energy density battery materials to serve innovative solutions for a brighter future. With our expertise in the application of machine learning in material science, we are developing low cobalt/high nickel lithium cathode materials. Cathode determines the type of a lithium battery and is the limiting factor for nickel-based batteries. Further improvement in battery performance is possible through AI-assisted custom high nickel cathode materials with increased charge rate, charge to discharge ratio, tap density, or any other specifications. By our unique computer-controlled digital reactor farm, we numerize synthesis parameters and output specifications for the machine learning algorithm we have been developing.
