Kolektif House Istanbul

Coworking spot

""Kolektif House" in Istanbul is a co-working spot -- with its 4 floors it has become an integral part of the city's start-up and freelancer ecosystem..."

Let's discover the fast-emerging startup ecosystem of Istanbul. As the community is getting bigger and the number of freelancers is increasing, many co-working spaces, accelerators, and communities are emerging throughout the city. Very quickly, Kolektif House has become an integral part of the ecosystem. 

This coworking space has a modern 4-floor location in Levent. It has well-equipped facilities with an artsy decor. They host interesting events almost daily, which I try not to skip. Talks, workshops, even parties... And even though we do have an office space for ourselves, I would prefer to have some of my meetings there just to catch up with entrepreneurs and other players in the ecosystem. 

For any freelancer passing by or anyone who needs a place to work, just show up and rent a daily desk. You can get your laptop and enjoy fresh daily coffee at the public zone or squeeze into an isolated corner.

Turkish Tea

Enjoy a glass of tea

Turkish Tea is had after each meal, and it's a reflection of hospitality. When in Istanbul, have it at small local tea houses in Sultanahmet.
