Our story
The studio started by building expert-led companies on Gurulize, the group's expert platform infrastructure. Yuvadan and Fitkültür are the expert-led companies from that period; Loyexo and Probuddy make up the side that serves companies. Today we carry the same model forward as WIT Labs, under WITLABS PROJE GELİŞTİRME A.Ş., with D-CAT Group's agentic backbone and capital behind us. These companies show where the studio has been. They don't limit where it goes next.
Proven in the enterprise, scaled on the platform, lived in everyday life.
D-CAT Technologies gathers field knowledge from enterprise agentic projects. AgenticObjects turns agent outputs into auditable business objects. Gurulize turns expertise into a platform. WIT Labs turns all of it into companies.
