Disrupt.com x Slush'd: Builder's Meetup | Istanbul Edition

Most people talk about building a startup. Few understand what building actually looks like before the venture gets off the ground.
Disrupt is a venture builder. We co-found ventures, operate them, and get you capital from our own balance sheet. We built Cloudways ($350M exit) and PureVPN (5M+ users). We have 20+ active ventures running now with $100M deployed.

If you are in Istanbul Ignited by Slush’D, add another stop in this showcase, we open the process - from idea validation to funded venture - and show you how it works in practice.
You will see the real process. Meet the operators. Hear directly from founders who have built and exited. Not advisors. Not academics.

You will see the ai-native infrastructure these ventures are actually built on. You leave with a clear next step. And if the fit is there, you leave as our next co-founder with a $350K backing plus $100K in free AWS credits (OpenAI, Claude, AWS, Slack and much more)

Who should come:
If you have built something before and know exactly what you would do differently this time, come. If you have been sitting on an idea for months and just need the right room, come. If you are a senior operator who has spent years building inside someone else's company and are finally ready to build your own, come.

You do not need a technical background. You do not need a polished pitch. You just need the drive to build something real and the honesty to know you cannot do it alone.
