Hello Istanbul: The Day HubX Opened Its Doors to a New Era

Istanbul represents creativity, ambition, and the kind of fast-moving energy that aligns naturally with the way we build at HubX. Expanding to Istanbul was never just about opening another office. It was about strengthening our culture, creating new spaces for collaboration, and bringing our growing team even closer together.

After months of planning, preparation, and excitement, we opened the doors to our new office and celebrated the beginning of something that already feels meaningful. The night brought together teammates, partners, and friends who have shaped our story so far and will shape what comes next.

HubX was born in İzmir with a small team, a bold vision, and a belief that people should always come before everything else. Today, we are a 300+ team building products used by millions of people around the world. Growth has always been part of our story, and our #XCulture together with our Izmir roots continue to shape how we work and who we become. Expanding to Istanbul is an extension of that story, not a rewrite.

From the start, we knew this office had to feel like HubX. More than a workspace, we wanted a home for ideas, creativity, and collaboration. A place that reflects our belief that great work happens when people feel supported and inspired.

Our Istanbul office carries forward the values that define #XCulture. It brings the warmth, openness, and team spirit of İzmir into a new environment. And yes, the İzmir spirit is coming with us too. More sunny energy, a strong sense of community, and the positive energy that has always been part of our journey. The goal is simple. Create a space where people can connect, grow, and enjoy doing what they love.

Opening this office is a reflection of the energy, dedication, and ambition of everyone at HubX. It gives our team the right environment to build bigger ideas, explore new opportunities, and continue shaping our shared journey.

Hello Istanbul began with excitement and a sense of belonging the moment the doors opened. Teammates from different teams and studios came together to celebrate what we have built and the new chapter ahead.

On stage, our Co-Founders Cem Ortabaş and Kaan Ortabaş were joined by Akın Babayiğit, Managing Director at Arcadia, Fatih Aksoy, Founder of Medyapım, and Görkem Türk, Founding Partner of Laton Ventures. Their insights helped frame the broader opportunities waiting for HubX in the upcoming years.

DramaTV was another highlight of the night. As one of the emerging vertical drama products in our ecosystem, it sparked natural curiosity. We talked about how the idea came together, where the product is heading, and the creative space it opens within HubX. The conversation reflected the ambition and experimentation that shape HubX’s evolution.

Throughout the evening, people shared stories, celebrated achievements, and talked about the exciting projects ahead. The atmosphere made one thing clear. Growth feels different when it is shared.

At HubX, culture has always been more than a concept. It guides how we work, create, think, and collaborate. #XCulture has shaped every step of our journey, from our first office in İzmir to our newest beginning in Istanbul.

It is about curiosity, teamwork, shared purpose, and the belief that people come first. The night in Istanbul reminded us that culture travels. It adapts, evolves, and becomes stronger when people gather around the same values. HubX has never been just where we work. It is how we grow together.

The opening of our Istanbul office marks a new era for HubX. It is a space designed for collaboration and creativity, a place where new ideas and new products will take shape.

It represents the balance between our İzmir roots and our global ambitions. Over the next years, this office will host the conversations, breakthroughs, and stories that shape the future of HubX. It will be a reminder of why we do what we love and why we continue growing as one team.

Hello Istanbul was not just an opening. It was a celebration of everything we have built and everything we will build together.

With our Istanbul office opening, we are growing our team across multiple positions. If you want to join a company that values creativity, collaboration, and innovation, we invite you to explore our open roles in Istanbul.
