Founder Meetup with Tural Badirkhanli | From MIT to a $50M Exit to Twitter
What does it take to build something so valuable that a global tech giant decides to buy it?
Join us for an exciting meetup with Tural Badirkhanli, an Azerbaijani entrepreneur and MIT graduate who built a company that was later acquired by Twitter in a $50M deal. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who has navigated the path from student to founder to successful exit in the global tech ecosystem.
In this session, Tural will share the real story behind his journey. How he started, the challenges he faced, what it takes to build technology that attracts global attention, and the lessons he learned along the way. This will be an open and honest conversation designed especially for students who are curious about startups, technology, and building ambitious careers.
Expect practical insights on:
• What it takes to build a startup that can compete globally
• The mindset required to move from idea to execution
• Lessons from building and exiting a company
• Opportunities for young founders and builders from emerging ecosystems
• Navigating the path from university to the global tech industry
There will also be time for Q&A and informal discussion, so come prepared with your questions.
If you are a student interested in startups, technology, entrepreneurship, or venture capital, this is the kind of conversation that can reshape how you think about your future.
Seats are limited. Make sure to register early.
We look forward to seeing the next generation of builders in the room. 🚀
