Görkem Türk is the founding partner of Laton Ventures, the largest gaming- and apps-focused venture capital fund in Turkiye. Launched in February 2025, Laton closed its inaugural $50 million fund to support pre-seed and seed-stage gaming startups globally, with a strong emphasis on founders in Turkiye, the US, and Europe.
Prior to founding Laton, Görkem spent six years as Industry Manager for Gaming, Apps & Startups at Google in Istanbul, where he led growth partnerships and ecosystem development in the gaming sector.
Under Görkem’s leadership, Laton has invested in five early-stage companies within its first year—two of which have since secured Series A funding, including Grand Games which raised $30 million in under nine months . Laton has also quickly risen to rank among the global top 10 most active early-stage gaming VCs.
