Ada, founder of Shipin

ADA RAIMOVA · ANKARA — TALLINN — TASHKENT

You built something real. Now distribute its value.

I help early stage founders become the face of what they built. Storytelling, GTM, tools, channels. Not campaigns. Not personal branding coaching — founder-led distribution that earns trust before it asks for anything.

What I do

№01
For

Founder's Associate

Hourly · retainer · referral

1:1 with early stage founders on the thing that's actually broken — distribution, storytelling, GTM, Clay and channels. The founder becomes the face of the product.

№02
For

Shipin Sprints

Build · Sell · sponsored cohorts

Build Sprints take first-time founders from idea to shipped product. Sell Sprints take early stage founders to first paying customer. Run in Ankara with partners across Türkiye, the EU and Central Asia.

№03
For

Youth Programs & Internship

Institutional programs · 1:1 internship

Hackathons, retreats and intensives for universities, accelerators and ecosystem partners — plus a 1:1 internship for early-career builders who'd rather ship than wait for permission.

Why I can do these things

5 LANGUAGES

English, Turkish, Russian + languages spoken in Central Asia.

3 regions

Active operator across Türkiye, the EU and Central Asia — not theory, real reps.

Trained where it counts

VC Lab (Venture Institute), Startup School, Business Administration — plus a decade of doing.

Builder, not consultant

I ship products, communities and programs myself. Distribution advice from someone who distributes.
