Meetup with Bayazid Malikov
From MIT to Raising a $1M — Meet Bayazid Malikov
What does it actually take to go from being a student to raising your first $1M?
Join us for an exclusive conversation with Bayazid Malikov, an MIT graduate and founder currently building in the United States. Bayazid has navigated one of the most competitive environments in the world, turning ideas into a funded startup and gaining firsthand experience in what it really takes to build, fail, and grow.
This is not a motivational talk. It is a practical, unfiltered discussion on:
• What studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology actually gives you beyond the brand
• How to think about startups before you even have an idea
• What investors look for when writing that first $1M check
• The reality of building a company in the US as an international founder
• Mistakes, wrong turns, and lessons that no one tells you
Expect honest insights, sharp perspectives, and answers to the questions most people avoid asking.
If you are thinking about startups, careers abroad, or simply want to understand how high-performing environments shape people, this session will challenge how you think.
Come prepared with thoughtful questions. The value you get will depend on what you ask.
This is an ADA-exclusive event. Participants from outside ADA University will not be granted access to the campus.
