Surgate Labs has been providing E-mail security solutions to enterprises and has been acquired by Comodo Group in August 2014.
Inseptra Systems, who has attracted substantial investor interest with a post-money valuation of 18M USD, provides telecoms and enterprises with tools to visualize, optimize and secure their networks.
Above tech startups were all financed to a great extent by company's own resources; and they are indeed success stories when taken into consideration the fact that Turkish entrepreneur ecosystem is relatively underdeveloped, financial instruments for startups are limited, and Turkish tech market is small.
