Kolaj Co, a pioneering UGC (User Generated Content) platform and a standout initiative of ITU Seed, has secured a $1 million seed investment from Bixcod Technology.
The startup specializes in delivering high-quality, fast, and sales-focused video content to e-commerce brands, while creating a fair, transparent, and sustainable ecosystem for content creators.
With global expansion set for 2026, Kolaj Co aims to evolve into a multilingual, multi-country content sales platform, with key markets including Dubai, Riyadh, and London.
In a statement, Co-Founder Mert Ayhan said:
“This funding is more than financial—it’s a strategic partnership. Thanks to Bixcod Technology, we’ll see strong growth both domestically and globally. The investment has already empowered us to enhance our software infrastructure, accelerate product development, and expand our team.”
The company is redesigning its onboarding processes with English and Arabic support to cater to both brands and content producers across new markets.
Ayhan continued:
“Our goal is to establish a structure for working with local creators in each market and to activate the Kolaj system in these countries. We’re targeting a 2026 launch in Dubai, Riyadh, and London.”
Co-Founder Oğuz Turan added that Kolaj uses AI technologies for content matching, editorial review, and performance analysis:
“We built Kolaj to bring together the needs of brands seeking authentic content and creators seeking revenue in a scalable, performance-based system. The process is managed by Kolaj from start to finish, ensuring quality and speed.”
“Our business model is fair, transparent, and sustainable. Creators receive a fixed fee per content, plus performance bonuses. All payment, delivery, and revision steps are tracked through a transparent creator panel.”
