Boby.ai has secured $1.25 million in a seed funding round led by London-based venture capital firm London Venture Partners, with Diffusion Capital Partners and F4 Fund also participating in the round.
Founded by Gökçe Nur Oğuz (CEO), Onur Olgun (COO), and Berat Oğuz, Boby.ai develops user-friendly and creative AI applications for mobile platforms, delivering them directly to end users.
Gökçe Nur Oğuz, co-founder and CEO of Boby.ai, previously led two successful gaming ventures: Playable Factory and Fabrika Games.
With these ventures, Oğuz developed games that reached millions of users. She is now channeling her experience in product development, scaling, and global market expansion into AI-based mobile applications with Boby.ai.
“Everything we’ve learned over the years in the gaming industry—how to develop products quickly, how to scale them, what works and what doesn’t—we’re now applying to AI-powered mobile applications.
Our goal is crystal clear: to build apps that people truly use, find useful, and enjoy.
This investment is not just financial support for us, it’s also a strong indication that we’re on the right track.”
Gökçe Nur Oğuz, CEO of Boby.ai
The startup’s flagship product, Mozart.ai, enables users to create personalized music with the help of AI. The app has been downloaded over 2.5 million times to date.
“When talent, technology, and timing align, great things happen”
David Gardner, founding partner of London Venture Partners, who led the investment round, said:
“We’re thrilled to be working with the Boby AI team in this new era. At LVP, we believe great companies are built at the intersection of talent, technology, and timing—and Boby AI is a perfect example of that.
The team has a strong background in game development, having previously created projects that reached millions of users worldwide. They’re now applying that experience to a fast-growing field: user-friendly AI applications on mobile.
This space is still in its early stages, but we believe AI will play a central role in integrating seamlessly and intuitively into people’s daily lives. We believe Boby AI will be a leader in this transformation.”
