‘It’s a national pride story’: Turkish e-commerce giant Hepsiburada lists on Nasdaqhttps://fortune.com/2021/07/01/turkish-ecommerce-giant-hepsiburada-lists-on-nasdaq/

"The company debuted at $12 a share on Thursday, valuing the business at about $3.9 billion. The offering sold about 20% of total shares, with Doğan Boyner retaining a 21% stake and three-quarters voting power. Franklin Resources and the founder’s family members own the rest. (Doğan Boyner says her three sisters have always been “silent shareholders.”)Doğan Boyner hopes that her company’s listing highlights to American investors and beyond the strength of the Turkish economy. “We are the second-largest populated country in Europe. We are the 13th-largest economy globally. We have a young, tech-savvy population, and we have strong GDP growth,” she says."---What a strong Friday win!
