For our Turkish-speaking audience - we found this very entertaining. Special thanks to the Swipeline TR crew. 🦄 Insider is more than just a unicorn; it’s a 🐉 dragon! A “dragon” - not to be mixed with the other mystical birds of our ecosystem (aka unicorns) - represents a rare achievement in the startup world—an investment that returns the entire fund in one exit. We’re happy to announce that Insider has reached this legendary status, becoming 212’s second dragon. This distinction is not merely about valuation; it reflects the extraordinary value delivered to our investors. And, dragons eat unicorns for breakfast! 😉 With these significant milestones, 212 is now set to rank among the top 10% of funds globally for DPI performance. 🚀
