An AI-Focused Gathering at ARDVENTURE: Claude Code Ankara Meet-Up
As ARDVENTURE, we were delighted to host the Claude Code Ankara Meet-Up, organized by Bilkent AI Society. With strong participation from the artificial intelligence, software, and entrepreneurship ecosystems, the event stood out for its inspiring discussions, high level of engagement, and meaningful knowledge exchange.
One of the most remarkable moments of the event was the in-person participation of Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code. Hosting Boris Cherny at ARDVENTURE was a truly enjoyable and inspiring experience for us. During an interactive session with participants, Cherny shared in-depth insights on:
- the development journey of Claude Code,
- the current applications of generative AI,
- the future of artificial intelligence and the opportunities it offers to developers.
He also answered questions directly, creating a highly engaging dialogue. This direct interaction provided developers and entrepreneurs in Ankara with a valuable, globally relevant experience.

“The Best Time to Start a Company”
The key message of the event was clear: “The best time to start a company.”
This powerful statement emphasized the accelerating role of artificial intelligence and the critical importance of timing along the journey from idea to product, and from technology to investment. It offered an inspiring framework, particularly for entrepreneurs and developers building AI-driven products.


Artificial Intelligence and the ARDVENTURE Vision
For ARDVENTURE, artificial intelligence is not merely a technology domain; it is a strategic focus shaping the future of entrepreneurship and investment. We prioritize building an ecosystem that supports AI-driven startups, developer communities, and visionary leaders. Events such as the Claude Code Ankara Meet-Up are a tangible reflection of this vision.
Shaped around artificial intelligence, software, and investment, this gathering made a strong contribution to Ankara’s technology and entrepreneurship ecosystem. As ARDVENTURE, we will continue to host events that bring together globally impactful technology communities and leading figures under one roof.
We would like to thank the Bilkent AI Society team, Boris Cherny, and all developers and entrepreneurs who participated and contributed to making this valuable gathering possible. ARDVENTURE will continue to serve as a hub for events that grow and strengthen the ecosystem with a focus on artificial intelligence and technology.
