One week in Istanbul, 30+ events bringing the app world together — workshops, founder socials and partner sessions, plus city-wide experiences from Bosphorus yacht nights to sunrise runs over Galata. No single stage; the whole city is the venue. Planned for Q4 2026. We'll lock the exact week with you.

“Every neighborhood becomes a venue. Every dinner becomes a deal. Every coffee becomes a co-founder.”
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 product. Many events are co-hosted with regional partners — the same model that made RevenueCat's NYC week work.
The week opens on the water. A flotilla of founders, the Bosphorus Bridge lit gold, the city as backdrop, and slow conversation that lasts until the lights of Asia switch off.
“The night the rest of the week is measured against.”
Sunrise over the Golden Horn. A 5k along the Galata Bridge for the founders who think before email. Easy pace, real conversation.
One long candlelit table. App founders sharing the same plate, off the record, late into the night.
An invitational tournament under stadium lights. Doubles, brackets, trophies that will sit on shelves for years.
An Istanbul roof at golden hour. Light cocktails, lighter conversation, the city below. The week's turning point.
Hands-on Anatolian cooking class with a Michelin-trained chef. You make it, you plate it, you eat it together.
A Bosphorus-front villa, mangal smoke and lantern light, founders deep in talk by midnight. The relaxed counterweight to a busy week.
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.
An hour on the wall, beginners welcome. Solving routes side-by-side with the kind of room you don't usually train next to.
Lap times, podium finishes, helmets that smell like sweat and competition. Sponsored champagne for whoever crosses the line first.
Three minutes in the ice, fifteen in the sauna, repeat. Recovery from the week, reset for the flight home, with guided breathwork included.
Turkish breakfast on marble, slow mornings, the last shared meal. Goodbyes, business cards, and the only round of applause the week needs.
Four rules we hold to. They're what makes this read as RevenueCat's flagship moment in the region, not a conference booked into a hotel ballroom.
One name on the stage. One name on the wristband. No co-titles, no presenting partners, no logos competing for the room.
Every voice on stage is an app founder or builder telling their own story. No fee-for-keynote, no industry-circuit speakers brought in for show.
Zero exhibitor pavilion. Zero commercial alley. The room is the conversation, not a tradeshow with a track running on the side.
Our team programs the whole week: venue, talent, content, production, hospitality, media. RevenueCat shows up, the founders show up, we handle the rest.
Until now, every growth event in Türkiye has been held in English. RevenueCat Istanbul App Week is the first major one held in Turkish, built for the local founder room, with a real-time English feed for every guest from out of country.
Every talk, panel, and workshop is delivered in Turkish, for and by the Türkiye founder room.
Every Turkish session streams to a real-time English feed. Pick up a headset at the door. No friction, no lag.
RevenueCat's stage moments stay in English. Turkish simultaneous translation reaches every seat.
