Alper Karagöz is a Partner at Diffusion Capital Partners, an Istanbul-based venture capital firm he co-founded in 2015 after initial operations began in 2007. The firm’s investment thesis targets early-stage deep-tech and frontier technology startups, primarily through Seed and Series A rounds in Turkey and the broader region. Initial investments typically fall below EUR 500,000, and Karagöz has participated as a co-investor rather than a lead, such as in TAZY’s $4.6M Seed round in August 2022. Notable portfolio companies include TAZY, a deep-tech startup that raised significant Seed funding with Karagöz listed among co-investors. Karagöz has publicly emphasized that Diffusion focuses exclusively on deep-tech investments and only commits capital when the team demonstrates clear potential to scale the business. There is no publicly available record of Karagöz publishing distinctive written viewpoints or articles beyond these interview statements.
