Time
08:00 am - 10:00 am
Address
Garaj X TEKMER, Beştepe Mahallesi Dumlupınar Bulvarı No.10 Yenimahalle, Ankara, Türkiye
An in-person evening for founders in Ankara. No panel, no slides, no pitch deck.
Three things happen here. You meet founders stuck on the same problems you are. You get straight feedback on your idea from the FI Türkiye co-directors, who are in the room rather than on a stage. And you meet people worth starting a company with.
Any stage counts, including idea stage. You do not need a deck, a prototype, a team, or a company yet. Bring one real problem you are stuck on.
Founder Institute is the World's Largest AI-Native Company Builder. 9,000+ graduates across 100+ countries have raised over $2 billion.
September 28, 2026, 18:00 to 20:00 (+03). Garaj X TEKMER, Yenimahalle, Ankara.

WHAT HAPPENS
The room is founders who are early and actually building. You will hear your own problem described by someone else, which is usually the most useful thing that happens all night.
The FI Türkiye co-directors are in the room, not on a stage. Bring the idea you are least sure about and let it get taken apart.
And you meet people worth starting a company with. Most co-founder relationships start as an ordinary conversation between two people at the same stage.
WHO SHOULD COME
Anyone building or seriously considering building a company. Any stage counts, including idea stage.
You do not need a deck, a prototype, a team, or a company yet. Bring one real problem you are stuck on.
