Nazim Salur

Nazim Salur redefined consumer expectations for delivery speed by co-founding Getir, the Istanbul startup that promised groceries in under 10 minutes — and consistently delivered. Launched in 2015, Getir expanded to 9 countries and hit a peak valuation of $11.8 billion by 2022, becoming one of Europe's most valuable private companies at the time. Its dark-store network model became the global template for an entire ultrafast delivery category, replicated by competitors from London to New York. Although Trendyol's Demet Mutlu, ranked #1 on this list, holds a higher overall platform valuation, Salur's Getir achieved international scale across three continents in under seven years — a geographic reach no comparable Turkish startup had matched in the same timeframe. His foundational insight — that speed, not price, is the decisive loyalty driver — reshaped global last-mile logistics and continues to influence how the world's largest retailers approach on-demand fulfillment.
