While you were busy scaling your SaaS product, Foriba.com quietly became the compliance backbone for Turkey's digital economy. This isn't a startup—it's a $362M revenue machine that makes e-fatura mandatory for 1.7 million businesses.

"In regulated markets, the infrastructure provider becomes the regulator's proxy—and that's where the real value is captured."

The domain foriba.com redirects to Sovos.com/tr, signaling the 2018 acquisition where Sovos (a global compliance giant) bought Foriba to enter Turkey. This wasn't a tech acquisition—it was a regulatory land grab. Foriba's team didn't just build software; they navigated the labyrinth of Turkish tax law, building relationships with government officials and understanding the bureaucratic nuances that no foreign competitor could replicate.

• Zero organic traffic visibility = enterprise sales model (not product-led growth)
• Tech stack (jQuery, Bootstrap) suggests legacy systems, not modern SaaS architecture
• No funding rounds = bootstrapped or acquired before VC era (acquired in 2018)
• Social profiles are Sovos-branded, not Foriba-branded (brand equity transferred)
