# HubX Raises $75M Series A, Becomes Turkey's 8th Unicorn

> HubX, a Turkish consumer AI company, has raised a $75M Series A from Point72, structured as $50M upfront with a $25M option, at a $1.2B pre-money valuation. The deal makes HubX Turkey's eighth unicorn. What stands out is the path to get there. HubX bootstrapped a portfolio of more than 40 consumer apps to over 600M downloads worldwide before taking any outside money, running the whole thing as an ecosystem that shares AI, data and monetization across its products. The fresh capital is earmarked for acquisitions and partnerships to widen that portfolio. In an era of startups raising enormous rounds before shipping much, a profitable, self funded app maker reaching a billion dollar valuation on its first institutional check is a refreshingly different story, and a reminder that consumer AI at scale can be built far from Silicon Valley.
