Neon Ventures Progress Tracker
We’re building in public — and you’re invited to watch it unfold.
Neon Ventures Begins
After building 500+ apps for other startups through Neon Apps, we decided it was time to build for ourselves. This week marks the official launch of Neon Ventures — a venture builder dedicated to launching, scaling, and spinning out our own startups.
We’ve made a bold decision: We won’t raise capital for now. Instead, we’ll spend the next 6 months building our internal infrastructure, validating our first ventures, and proving traction — all before taking a dollar from outside investors.
When the time is right, we may raise. Until then, you’re invited to follow along as we build this from the ground up.
Let’s go.

It’s been just three weeks since we announced NeonX Ventures - and we’ve hit the ground running. Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far: |
🚀 We Launched Publicly |
Our LinkedIn announcement generated incredible engagement and brought dozens of inbound messages from founders, investors, and supporters. You can find this LinkedIn post here. |
👥 Founder Recruitment is Underway |
Our HR team published our founder roles, and we’ve already received over 100 applications in the first 2 weeks. The interest has been beyond what we expected.

It has been just three weeks since our last update and we have kept the momentum going. Here is what we have accomplished since then: |
🎉 First NeonX Founders Meetup |
Our LinkedIn announcement generated incredible engagement and brought dozens of inbound messages from founders, investors, and supporters. You can find this LinkedIn post here. |
We’re excited to let you know that you’re invited to the first NeonX Founders Meetup on July 23 at our Istanbul office. This invite-only gathering will bring together top founders, operators, and investors for an evening of networking, founder stories, and investor insights. In just one week, we’ve already received over 100 applications, and we expect more than 500 by the deadline - but attendance will be limited to about 70 founders to ensure meaningful connections. You can see all the details here: |
NeonX Founders Club App – Our Team’s Favorite ❤️ |
The Neon team is fully invested in the NeonX Founders Club app, and the energy around it has been incredible. We are building what we believe will become the heart of our founder and investor deal flow, the central hub of our community. The team is so excited about this project that they are working day and night to make it exceptional. For those interested, here is a short video (in Turkish) where we discuss the project and share a behind-the-scenes look: |
New Venture: Self-Optimized Onboarding & Paywalls |
We have started developing a new B2B venture, addressing one of the biggest pain points we have encountered while scaling consumer apps. This product delivers self-optimizing onboarding flows and paywalls for consumer apps (Web-to-App and App-to-App). By training the AI on an app’s source code and historical data, the platform can automatically run dozens of A/B tests in real time, analyze results, and continuously improve onboarding and paywall performance with no manual effort required. We are leveraging the growth strategies we have used to scale hundreds of apps to build the only solution on the market capable of automating app growth optimization in real time. For those interested, here is a short video (in Turkish) where we discuss the project and share a behind-the-scenes look: |
🔍 Our Mistake with the Venture Creation Model |
Mistake #1 — And What We Learned We realized we made a mistake in how we initially approached our venture creation model. At first, we planned to build 24 MVPs per year, expecting to kill about 70 percent of them, following standard venture studio benchmarks that prioritize volume over quality. We now see this approach was not right for us. Given the rigor we apply to selecting and validating ideas, our ventures already start with stronger fundamentals than typical MVPs. We were wrong to think that building more and killing more was the right measure of success. Our strength lies in focus and quality — building fewer ventures with a much higher chance of reaching product-market fit. We are now shifting to build 8 to 12 high-quality ventures per year, each designed to go far beyond MVP and achieve PMF with a 70 to 80 percent success rate, rather than the 30 percent we initially projected. It is still early, but we are executing at pace while laying a strong foundation for long-term success. Thank you for following along. |
