A holding company that
manages what it owns.
Workbence builds and acquires businesses and manages them under one group. This is who we are, how the group has developed, and where it is headed.
Started with AI.
Grew into more.
Workbence was founded in 2022 by Mert Kilan with a single focus: build AI platforms that solve real enterprise problems. That first bet — PetroMind™ AI for the oil & gas industry — proved the model worked.
Since then, Workbence has grown into a holding company with four distinct businesses. We launched Workbence Studio for mobile apps and games, built GreenFur Pet Store for sustainable commerce, and started Workbence Agency to help other businesses with their technology needs. The portfolio keeps growing.

How we manage what we own
Ownership Mindset
We hold full ownership of every company in the portfolio — and with it, full responsibility for performance, people, and reputation.
Long-Term Commitment
Every business we own is held as a lasting commitment. We measure success in durable growth and sound fundamentals, not short-term results.
Deliberate Diversification
We operate across enterprise technology, mobile products, software services, and sustainable commerce — a deliberate spread that strengthens the resilience of the group.
Direct Management
Each company is led directly by Workbence, with the management attention, resources, and governance its stage of growth requires.
About Our CEO/Founder
Mert Kilan is the founder and CEO of Workbence, a technology-focused holding company that builds, owns, and operates businesses across enterprise software, consumer products, and digital media.
Background
Mert began his career in software at a young age. While still in high school, he competed in robotics against university teams and, in parallel, co-founded Concept IT, an IT and software development company. That early combination of technical depth and hands-on business experience shaped the approach he brings to Workbence today.
Workbence Group of Companies
Mert founded Workbence to acquire, build, and scale companies under one portfolio. The group currently includes:
- Workbence AI: Enterprise AI and software platforms for the oil and gas, healthcare, and financial markets industries.
- Workbence Agency: A custom software design and development agency serving businesses across multiple sectors.
- Workbence Studio: An in-house studio developing original mobile apps and games.
- GreenFur: A sustainable pet products store focused on eco-conscious pet care.
Strategy and Vision
Workbence is in an early growth stage, with a strategy centered on two priorities: launching new companies and acquiring established businesses that fit the group's portfolio. Under Mert's leadership, Workbence focuses on long-term value creation, scalable technology, and disciplined operations across every company it owns.
Mert is open to discussing strategic partnerships, acquisitions, and business opportunities aligned with the group's vision.
