Chapter · Istanbul

For one week,
the city becomes the room.

Voice from the room
Every neighborhood becomes a venue. Every dinner becomes a deal. Every coffee becomes a co-founder.

Chapter · The Week

No single stage. The whole city is the venue.

Across one week, 30+ events take Istanbul: workshops and founder socials by the dozen, engineered for serendipity: a yacht on the Bosphorus, a padel court under stadium lights, a paintball match in the woods, a cold plunge at sunrise, a candlelit villa BBQ, a 7am run over the Galata Bridge.

The week is the point. Many events are co-hosted with regional partners, the same model that made RevenueCat's NYC week work.

Line-up being confirmed

This is the kind of week we're building. Events appear on the programme page as each one is confirmed with its host.

Galata Bridge

Growth Runners

Sunrise over the Golden Horn. A 5k along the Galata Bridge for the founders who think before email. Easy pace, real conversation.

Cihangir

Scaled Founders' Table

One long candlelit table. App founders sharing the same plate, off the record, late into the night.

Galata · Şişhane

Founders' Sundown

An Istanbul roof at golden hour. Light cocktails, lighter conversation, the city below. The week's turning point.

Kadıköy

App Founders' Kitchen

Hands-on Anatolian cooking class with a Michelin-trained chef. You make it, you plate it, you eat it together.

Outdoor villa BBQ at night: grilled meats, lantern, candlelit table
THU19:00
07
Sarıyer

Founders' Mangal Night

A Bosphorus-front villa, mangal smoke and lantern light, founders deep in talk by midnight. The relaxed counterweight to a busy week.

SAT14:00
08
Maslak

Founders' Paintball

Squad-vs-squad in the woods outside the city. Tactical, loud, occasionally muddy. The fastest way to learn who you'd actually start a company with.

Climber on an overhanging boulder route in an indoor gym
SAT16:30
09
Levent

Founders' Climb

An hour on the wall, beginners welcome. Solving routes side-by-side with the kind of room you don't usually train next to.

Go-karts racing on a lit night track with helmets and tire barriers
SAT20:00

Maslak

Growth Experts' Grand Prix

Lap times, podium finishes, helmets that smell like sweat and competition. Sponsored champagne for whoever crosses the line first.

Cihangir

Founders' Ice Bath

Three minutes in the ice, fifteen in the sauna, repeat. Recovery from the week, reset for the flight home, with guided breathwork included.

Karaköy

Founders' Farewell Brunch

Turkish breakfast on marble, slow mornings, the last shared meal. Goodbyes, business cards, and the only round of applause the week needs.

Bebek

Sunset Yoga

A gentle, all-levels flow by the water in Bebek as the light goes soft over the city. Instructor-led, mats provided, zero experience required.
