We reunited with valuable stakeholders, mentors, and entrepreneurs from the entrepreneurial ecosystem! On the evening of May 21st, we organized a private gathering bringing together past Let's Scale Up entrepreneurs, mentors, trainers, and stakeholders. We were delighted to see you at our Let's Scale Up: After-Hours Meetup event, held on May 21, 2026, at BizWorld Atakent/Ümraniye.

This special gathering was designed with an innovative concept focusing on the needs and challenges of startups. Starting with registration and networking at 6:30 PM, the event continued with startups grouped according to shared areas and/or needs, followed by targeted roundtable discussions. Organized in collaboration with Fauna Venture Studio, JCI Eurasia, and Ljus, our thematic tables and expert mentors shared their expertise with participants from previous years.

The event, which took place at 5 tables in total, with 3 table rotations each lasting 20 minutes, gave our participants the opportunity to receive strategic mentorship from experts in their fields. Following the round table experience, the evening concluded with an inspiring "Keynote" speech by Veli Bahçeci, Founder of ROIVA and AI Strategist.

We thank all our stakeholders for joining us at this unique gathering to overcome obstacles on your growth journey, strengthen your ties with the ecosystem, and relive the spirit of "Let's Scale Up"! We look forward to seeing you again at our future events.
