Turkish prop-fintech startup Paydaş raises over $1.25M across three rounds
What's the deal? Paydaş, a Turkish prop-fintech startup, has raised more than $1.25M in total funding across three investment rounds. The company operates at the intersection of property and financial technology, a growing niche in Türkiye's startup ecosystem.
