It's been just two months since we opened the Nest in San Francisco and honestly, we didn't expect it to fill up this quickly. In two months, we've hosted 10+ events and welcomed 1,000+ people through our doors. Pitch nights, founder meetups, run clubs, poker nights, and everything in between. Different communities, different vibes, one space. When we opened the Nest, we wanted it to be more than an office. A place where people could meet, exchange ideas, find their people, and make things happen. Two months in, it's already starting to feel like exactly that. 💙 If you're in SF and want to bring your community together, the Nest is yours. Just reach out.

Loom Games really swept the night. 🏆 Pixel Flow! was named Game of the Year, Loom Games won Best Developer, and Kübra took home Rising Star at the #PocketGamer Mobile Games Awards 2026. We knew there was something special about Kübra and Emre from day one. Seeing them take home three awards in one night, just a week after Loom Games’ first birthday, makes this even more meaningful. 🥹 Huge congrats to the entire team. Couldn’t be happier for you guys!

Erbil Karaman, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Huma Finance, joined our NextGen cohort for the final online session. 💙 He shared the story behind Huma, his own journey, and the lessons he picked up along the way from early product decisions to building in a space where the stakes are high and competition is fierce. It was a great chance for our founders to hear what building a company actually looks like beyond the highlight reel. Thank you, Erbil 🧢

Two of ours on the list. 💙 Brex Benchmark just dropped their Summer 2026 top 25 fastest-growing software vendors. fal landed at #19, with Daytona right behind at #21. No surprise here. Both teams have been moving at full speed since day one. Love to see it. Congrats to the fal & Daytona teams. 🧢

Six weeks ago, nine high school teams walked into NextGen with an idea. This September, they take the stage. 💙 The NextGen cohort will pitch in Istanbul in front of investors, founders, and ecosystem guests who’ve come to see what the next generation is building. And there’s more on the line: the top 3 teams will each walk away with $10,000, thanks to our prize sponsors Akbank Lab, Akbank Gençlik Akademisi, Eksim Ventures, and JIMCO (Jameel Investment Management Co.). 📅 September 2 📍 Insider One Office Want to see what the next generation is building?

We had fun last year, so here we go again. Bigger, better, and a bit wilder. 👾 e2vc × Arcadia Gaming Partners × fal are bringing together founders, operators, investors and friends across gaming & consumer apps. This one is happening on Day 0 of Istanbul Ignited by Slush'D. They have the panels and an amazing speaker lineup covered. We’ll take care of the SIDE QUEST and, as usual, a little bit of chaos. 🎪🪩 See you there!

So... who’s into gaming & consumer apps? 👀🎮 Istanbul Ignited by Slush'D is almost here, so we’re getting the gaming & consumer apps crowd together for Side Quest, with Arcadia Gaming Partners and fal. Akin, promise it’ll be better than last year. 🙃 We’ll be hanging out on October 12, talking gaming, consumer apps, whatever’s on our minds, and having a good time along the way. If you’re around, come hang! 📅 October 12 | Istanbul 🔗 Link in the comments
