Build Your Network connects Turkey-based founders with technical co-founders, engineers, and startup operators in India through intent-based worldwide matching — bridging two of the fastest-growing startup ecosystems outside the US.
Build Your Network (BYN) is open to Turkey founders — with Worldwide discovery connecting Istanbul and Turkish founders to India's engineers, technical co-founders, and startup operators. Turkey's fintech, gaming, and e-commerce ecosystem aligns strongly with India's engineering talent. BYN makes these connections intent-based: both sides declare goals before the first message. Free to join. No install. Operates in English.
Istanbul is one of Europe and the Middle East's fastest-growing startup hubs — with a strong fintech scene (Iyzico, Papara), gaming ecosystem (Peak Games, Dream Games), and e-commerce innovation. Turkish founders building for global markets increasingly look to India's engineering talent pool for technical co-founders and product development teams.
The parallel is striking: both Turkey and India have large, young, digitally-native populations; both are building world-class products for their home markets and exporting that expertise globally. Indian engineers bring deep experience in payments, SaaS infrastructure, and consumer mobile products that directly complement Turkish commercial and product strengths.
Build Your Network's Worldwide mode gives Turkey founders direct access to this talent — filtered by intent, skills, and startup stage — without needing a conference introduction or warm referral.
Three high-value connections through worldwide discovery.
India's engineers are world-class in fintech, SaaS, and mobile — verticals that align directly with Turkey's startup strengths. BYN surfaces technical founders open to remote-first partnerships.
Turkish founders targeting Asian or South Asian markets find India's operator community invaluable. BYN surfaces founders explicitly open to cross-border market entry partnerships.
India has scaled consumer fintech, gaming, and SaaS to hundreds of millions of users. BYN surfaces advisors from this ecosystem who are actively open to mentoring international founders.
