Intelligence AI was founded in 2024 in Istanbul by two co-founders and operates from the Bilişim Vadisi (Informatics Valley) Terminal İstanbul campus. One comes from company building and investment, the other from IT and applied AI. Together they ask two questions on every project: will this create value for the business, and will it actually work in production?
