Startup & tech events in Istanbul

8 upcoming startup & tech events in Istanbul: networking nights, founder meetups, pitch events, demo days & more. Updated daily.

Istanbul is quiet through the summer, with the main draw — Webrazzi Summit on Oct 21, Türkiye's biggest tech conference marking its 20th edition — still four months out. In the meantime, Anthropic's Claude Community runs a three-day Istanbul stretch (Jun 24–26) covering UI design, GTM and Claude Code, and AI BEAVERS' build fridays on Jun 26 is a low-key co-working session for founders shipping alongside others. Webrazzi Fintech follows on Dec 9.

One email every Monday: the Istanbul events worth planning around. Hand-filtered, with the fine print. Nothing else, ever.
