When asked about the future goals of Rakam, one of the founders, Emre says: "Our biggest goal in the short term is to grow the start-ups-companies that want to grow with data and process data. At the moment Scorp and Twentify are the names that best fit this recognition and they prefer Rakam. Especially in Turkey, the problem that we experience most often is the fact that people use data only to show investors or managers. We want to break it with Rakam. "
