How it works

From application to growth: what happens in 24 weeks?

Dijital Girişim is not a software sale. It is a process you go through with a team. Below you can see, for each stage, what our team does, what we need from you and what you have at the end of it.

  1. Before you start

    Application and kick-off

    We get to know your business, choose the right package together and set a start date.

    What we do

    • We review your free assessment form and call you.
    • We talk about your business, products and goals, and review your existing accounts (website, marketplaces, social media).
    • We recommend the right package and complete the contract and payment (online on the site or after a meeting).
    • Within 1 week of signing, we plan and start the setup and assign your setup team and mentor.

    What we need from you

    • Fill in the free assessment form.
    • Join the online introductory meeting. We hold it online to speed things up.
    • Prepare the starting documents. The Required Documents page shows which document is needed for what.

    What you have at the end

    • Your package and contract are finalised.
    • Your start date and the team that will work with you are confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

I have no technical knowledge. Can I do this?

Yes. The programme is designed for businesses in exactly this position. Our team does the setup, the training starts from zero and your mentor stays with you for 24 weeks.

How much time do I need each week?

During setup, 1–2 hours a week for meetings scheduled on different days is enough. The time needed during training is shared with you along with the schedule, planned according to your class and profile.

Is the training online or in person?

Online. Shared topics are covered in online classes grouped by participant profile; topics specific to your business are covered in one-to-one online sessions in your own store, tailored to your sector.

I already have a website or a marketplace store.

In the assessment we check whether your existing website and accounts can be integrated; if they are suitable, we connect them to the new system.

Whose name are the accounts opened in?

Store, marketplace, e-invoice and social media accounts are opened in your business's name and belong to you.

What happens after 24 weeks?

The system and the accounts stay with you. Your ikas Start store continues free of charge, and we let you know the renewal options for the 1-year licences before they expire.
