We own the companies.
We run them too.
Workbence is a holding company that builds or acquires businesses and operates them under one roof. This is a look at who we are, how we got here, and where we're going.
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 Consulting to help other businesses with their technology needs. The portfolio keeps growing.
Workbence Founded
Mert Kilan founded Workbence with a clear mission: build and own companies that solve real problems. The first focus — enterprise AI.
Four companies. One holding group.
Each company operates independently but shares the Workbence commitment to quality and growth.
How we operate
These principles guide how we run every company under the Workbence umbrella.
Ownership Mindset
We don't advise from the sidelines. We own every company in our portfolio and take full responsibility for their success.
Long-Term Growth
We build for the long haul. Every company we own is a commitment — not a short-term play.
Diverse Portfolio
From AI to mobile apps to sustainable commerce — we believe in building across industries, not putting all eggs in one basket.
Hands-On Leadership
Each company gets the leadership, resources, and focus it needs. We're operators first, owners second.
A note from Mert Kilan
When I started Workbence, I didn't set out to build a consulting firm or a startup studio. I wanted to build companies that I would own and run — businesses that solve problems I care about.
That started with AI. I saw enterprises struggling to use it in any practical way, so we built platforms that actually work in the field — on oil rigs, in hospitals, across financial markets. That became Workbence AI.
From there, the vision grew. We built GreenFur because we believe pet owners deserve sustainable options. We launched Workbence Studio because we had ideas for mobile apps and games we wanted to bring to life ourselves.
Workbence is still early. We'll keep building new companies and acquiring ones that fit. If you're interested in what we're doing — whether it's a business opportunity, an acquisition, or just curiosity — I'd love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mert Kilan
Founder & CEO, Workbence
