Madlen Sets Out to Transform Education End to End and Secures a $100,000 Investment from YZF!
Founded in March 2024, Madlen has quickly made a strong impression in K12 education and continues to grow at pace. The platform, which set out to democratise private-tuition-quality education for pupils in every corner of Türkiye, has received the strong backing of İş Bankası.
Madlen stands out as a personalised artificial intelligence assistant for pupils and a one-of-a-kind copilot for teachers. Aiming to bring accessible, high-quality education to every pupil, from Etiler to Sarıkamış, at any hour of the day, Madlen helps teachers use their time far more effectively. Rather than spending dozens of hours a week on tasks that can be automated, teachers can build deeper connections with their pupils.
Madlen’s founder and CEO Atakan Özkaya said that, together with co-founders Murat Angın and Adalet Veyis Turgut, they are working day and night in service of this mission. Özkaya emphasised that they aim for Madlen to be in every home in the years ahead, and that throughout 2024 they overcame every challenge in their path with a passionate team.
The greatest share of the credit for where Madlen stands today belongs to its dynamic, passionately committed team. CEO Atakan Özkaya said the company owes this success entirely to the team’s dedication:
“We are not just building a platform, we are building a dream, and the people who make that dream possible are our teammates who put in the work day and night. Each of their contributions turns Madlen’s vision into reality. Without them, this success would not have been possible.”
Madlen’s dedicated team includes Adalet Veyis Turgut, Murat Angın, Batuhan Karaman, Doğukan Özkaya, Ayda Tuna, Musab Demirci, Celil Özkan, Rüzgar İmren, Mert Özkul, Baturalp Sönmez, Çağla Akyavaş, Efe Erdoğmuş, Ali Kara and Eren Kural. The CEO sees these teammates’ dedicated efforts as the strongest guarantee of Madlen’s growth and mission.
We also owe a great debt of thanks to our first-round investors, who believed in us and supported us from the earliest days of this journey: Erinç Özada, Barış Alnıaçık, Esat Uğurlu, Sadık Gençoğlan, Semih Kara and Gürhan Kök. By sharing our vision, these valued names have played an important role in Madlen’s success.
Madlen is sparking the artificial intelligence revolution in K12 education and moving forward with a vision that changes education at its roots. Easing teachers’ workload while strengthening pupils’ learning journeys with personalised experiences, Madlen is not merely a platform: it is a movement of transformation shaping the future of education. With this bold vision, Madlen is determined to become one of the strongest players on the global education stage!
