Altogic is a backend-as-a-service platform founded in 2020 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. The platform allows developers and no-code makers to build backend applications through both traditional coding and drag-and-drop interfaces, covering data modeling, service definitions, file management, and application environments. As of May 2022, the company was operating in public beta with approximately 1,000 users and had not yet generated revenue.

Altogic raised a $1 million seed round in 2022 at a roughly $5 million valuation, with lead investor Scalix and participation from 500 Istanbul. Founder and CEO Ümit Çakmak, a former McKinsey consultant, self-funded the company from inception in June 2020 through the seed close, working alongside a co-founder before hiring a team. The company planned to launch commercial pricing in July 2022 and expected to grow its full-time headcount from 8 to 12 or 13 people by that date.

Pricing was described as environment-based, with different capacity tiers priced per execution environment. No specific price points were disclosed. Revenue figures for any period were not available, as the company had not yet monetized its user base.

Founder / CEO

Ümit Çakmak

CEO

Ümit Çakmak is the Founder and CEO of Altogic. He is 45 years old as of the May 2022 interview and is based in Istanbul, Turkey. Before founding Altogic, Çakmak worked as a management consultant at McKinsey and Company, with experience in both the Istanbul and Chicago offices.

Çakmak began writing the first line of code for Altogic in June 2020 and spent 14 months building the platform before launching the public beta in August 2021. He self-funded the company through that period, drawing on personal savings. He holds a majority equity stake in the company, with a co-founder holding a smaller share, an arrangement Çakmak described as reflecting the relative time, effort, and capital each contributed.

Customers

Altogic had approximately 1,000 users in its public beta as of May 2022. Because the platform had not yet launched commercial pricing, all users were on a free basis and no paying customers existed at the time of the interview.

The company built its early user base through friends and family during a private beta phase, then expanded through Twitter outreach and developer community channels, including Discord, after moving to public beta. Altogic also ran cohort-based training programs for community members, and was in its second training cohort at the time of the interview. Pricing had not been publicly set, though Çakmak indicated plans would be environment-based with tiered capacity. No ARPU, customer acquisition cost, or conversion rate figures were available given the pre-revenue stage.

Altogic Business Model

Altogic's planned monetization model is based on execution environments. Users will pay per environment, with different pricing tiers corresponding to different capacity levels. Çakmak confirmed that payment infrastructure had already been integrated into the platform and would be activated when commercial plans launched in July 2022.

The company targets two primary user segments: traditional software developers who write code, and no-code makers who use drag-and-drop tools to build backend applications. There is no stated industry focus. Profitability, gross margin, churn, retention, LTV, CAC, burn rate, and runway were not discussed in the interview, consistent with the company's pre-revenue status at the time.
