Dora Capital is an Istanbul based independent investment banking firm, providing financial advisory services on mergers and acquisitions and fundraisings.
Founded by three partners with more than ten years of experience in M&A advisory each, Dora Capital encompasses an energetic team with a fresh perspective. Dora Capital partners take pride in their hands-on approach, 24/7 accessibility, and senior-level dedication to every client. We leverage our strong relationships with Turkish entrepreneur-owned companies, corporate leaders, and private equity firms to structure complex transactions. Our unbiased and quality advice offering culminates around trust, being solution-oriented, confidentiality, and integrity.
We believe M&A is a complex transforming event for a company and its stakeholders. As such, a successful M&A process is tremendously demanding to achieve. On one side, vast experience, knowledge, and network are required to set the strategy, a tailored game plan meeting the expectations of each client. On the other, dedication, endurance, attention to detail, and a great deal of work are indispensable pillars to precise transaction execution. Leveraging on our resources, we go above and beyond and spare no effort to achieve the most out of a transaction for our clients.
