Türkiye-based prop-fintech startup Paydaş has surpassed $1.25 million in total cash and in-kind investment while reaching a valuation of over $16 million with its platform that enables individual investors to access international property income through a digital fractional ownership model starting from as little as $100.
Paydaş aims to make access to global property income more visible and accessible. The startup has completed three separate pre-seed investment rounds and officially surpassed a $16 million valuation. With its strong investor base, advisory board, and proprietary digital share participation model, the company is positioning itself as a notable player in the prop-fintech space.
The digital participation model developed by Paydaş enables retail investors to gain exposure to value-generating international real estate assets — including rental income and property appreciation potential — with a minimum entry threshold of just $100.
The Türkiye-based startup officially launched at the Innovative Investment Summit, introducing its platform that allows users to participate digitally in the rental income and appreciation potential of selected international properties.
To date, the company’s combined cash and in-kind investments have exceeded $1.25 million, while its latest funding round pushed the startup’s official valuation above $16 million.
Paydaş’s investors include prominent names such as gaming entrepreneur and investor Volkan Biçer, fintech ecosystem leader Sezer Arslan, international investor Erol Şaşati, industrial sector figures Ethem Öztaş and Ersin Öztaş, Ahmet Paksu and senior executives from Tersan Group, as well as Ahmed Gencal from the retail sector.
Strong advisory board
Beyond its investor network, Paydaş also stands out with a high-profile advisory board. Members include former Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye Governor Murat Çetinkaya, Vice Chairman of Galata Business Angels Uğur Şeker, former senior executive at GE Capital and CBRE David Haine, and digital assets strategist Barış Dinler.
Democratizing access to global property income
Paydaş’s model seeks to make global asset income more accessible by removing the barriers created by high capital requirements and complex investment processes. Through the platform, users can digitally participate in the rental income and appreciation potential of selected international real estate assets.
Built on a transparent asset structure, clear cost model, and regular reporting approach, the system is designed to offer users a more understandable, trackable, and controlled investment experience.
Dr. Yusuf Eren Yalçın, Co-Founder and CEO of Paydaş, commented:
“Consumer behavior is changing rapidly worldwide. People are no longer looking solely for financial returns; they also want structures they can access, understand, and transparently track. One of the biggest issues in global property income markets has long been that access was limited to a certain capital group. With the Paydaş model, we aim to make this space more democratic, visible, and accessible. We are building a next-generation model where users can benefit economically without taking on the full burden of ownership, while managing and monitoring the process digitally. We believe access-focused financial models will become far more prominent globally in the coming years.”
Paydaş is a Türkiye-based prop-fintech startup that enables retail investors to digitally access rental income and appreciation potential from selected international properties with a low entry threshold. By centrally managing legal, tax, and operational processes, the platform simplifies the investment journey while aiming to provide users with a more accessible, transparent, and trust-oriented experience through clear asset structures, transparent pricing, and regular reporting.
