As another year comes to an end, we take a moment to reflect on what we built together at 212. 🐉 We hope you enjoyed the AI-generated dragon in our video, a small nod to the dragons we support and the ones we will continue to discover.

Bringing its secure and scalable payment infrastructure to Europe, starting with solutions for online merchants, marks an important milestone in that journey.✈️ Congratulations to the entire @iyzico team on this next chapter.🙌

Over the years, the company has built a powerful payments infrastructure, now serving 185K+ merchants across 40+ sectors, 7M digital wallet users, and processing more than TRY 300B in annual transaction volume.

Dragon companies set the pace for entire ecosystems.🐉 Proud to see @iyzico, one of the dragon companies from our Fund I, taking another meaningful step in its global journey with its expansion into the European market through iyzico BV.

We’re proud to back the @keyrails team as they help build the infrastructure layer powering the next generation of financial services. Excited for what comes next.🚀 For more details, check out this post👇 linkedin.com/posts/berhanko…

What makes this exciting is what it unlocks: ▫️Connecting crypto infrastructure directly with traditional payment rails ▫️Enabling real-world use cases with banks and financial institutions ▫️Moving digital assets from experimentation toward everyday global transactions

@keyrails has been selected as a launch partner in the @Mastercard Crypto Partner Program, an important step toward bringing digital asset infrastructure closer to the global financial system.🪙

🔹The role of industry collaboration and why very few breakthroughs happen inside a single company. Research partnerships, corporate pilots, and shared infrastructure often matter as much as the team itself.

Deep tech is one of the most challenging spaces to invest in. The timelines are long, the science is uncertain, and the path to market is rarely straightforward.

The women on our team shape not only what we build, but the standards by which we build it. We are proud to move forward alongside such strong and inspiring women, today and every day. 💫 Happy International Women’s Day! 💙

With the weekend ahead, we’re sharing this a little early. Today is a reminder that true strength carries both power and grace, reflected in confident leadership, resilience, and purposeful collaboration.🫂
