Ada Raimova

Growth · Partnerships · Community

I build the pipeline and the community your customers come from.

Based in Türkiye, open to relocation. My superpower is human relations, and sometimes the artificial ones and I get along too. I run outreach, build partnerships and make things happen, from a cold message to a collaborator.

Skills I bring

Community and events

  • Event management

    Venue, partners, run of show. In 2026 I ran 5 events & hackathons with zero budget.

  • Community building

    I run Shipin, a community in Ankara where people explore AI tools and build together, and I host Clay Club Ankara.

  • Storytelling

    I write the story behind the ask. One email explaining what I needed and why won me an alumni-funded scholarship in my first year of university.

  • Program design

    I build programs from scratch: two workshop formats of my own, piloted with 15 to 20 people, and the content for a 12-week angel investing bootcamp.

  • Email marketing

    I was responsible for the emailing at the Thousand Faces newsletter. I still do it at Shipin.

Growth and go-to-market

  • Partnerships and sponsorships

    I secured more than 10 local and global partners for events and programs.

  • Outreach and business development

    One clear ask, written by me, then a follow-up. Tool vendors, brands and company teams said yes; a proposal sent to IT Park's CEO became a consultancy in Tashkent.

  • Inbound and outbound automation

    Outbound: prospect lists from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, enriched in Clay and moved by n8n. Inbound: form fills, signups and event contacts are captured and followed up without manual copy and paste.

  • Lead generation and CRM setup

    I set up the pipeline in HubSpot: every request lands in one place, with the source recorded and a follow-up attached.

  • AI workflows and no-code builds

    I ship landing pages and internal tools with Lovable and use Claude and ChatGPT inside real processes, from research to first drafts.

  • Content and social media

    I write plain, readable content and publish it myself. LinkedIn is my main channel: over the past year my reach was 200K, and one post brought 107 applications from about 25 countries.

How I got here

01 / 11

Personal and professional, in no particular order.

Where I come from

I grew up between three languages

I am Uzbek, born in Turkmenistan, educated in Russian. Then I moved to Türkiye and majored in BBA in English. After school I worked on Central Asian projects, often close to political and security topics. before I found my path to startup world.

Setur Marinas

First intern in the company's history

I rotated through HR, marketing and finance. They kept taking interns afterward, which I still count as a result.

Thousand Faces

A Midjourney image won 250 USD

In 2022, I made the image in Midjourney and entered an art competition. It won 250 USD.

Anadolu University

Alumni fund scholarship, 2014

In my first year I wrote one email explaining what I needed and why, and I received the scholarship my faculty's alumni had funded. Storytelling got me there.

Project Catalyst, Fund 9

Community-funded wellbeing DAO

ADAwell was funded through Cardano's community program, with 5,690 USD distributed and the project marked complete. I proposed it and built a Discord community of over 60 members around it.

IT Park Uzbekistan

A proposal that became two weeks in Tashkent

I applied to IT Park events, got no follow-up, and sent their CEO a proposal to fix that gap with automation. It led to a consultancy in Tashkent.

n8n

From tool sponsor to ambassador

I co-hosted a sports tech hackathon with the Türkiye Sports for Everyone Federation (HİS) & ODTÜ Teknokent and brought n8n in as the tool sponsor. That is how I got an offer to become an n8n ambassador. The automation work I did around IT Park in Tashkent is the proof of work I put in my ambassador profile.

Shipin

A community built from zero, with no budget

Shipin is my community in Ankara where people explore AI tools and build together. In 2026 I ran 5 events and hackathons with no budget and brought in more than 10 local and global partners to back them.

Thousand Faces

The content behind the first angel investing bootcamp

I applied to an incubation program as the founder of ADAwell and stayed on as marketing manager. I wrote the content for the very first angel investing bootcamp, a 12-week program for aspiring women angels, and I was one of the four women who built it, alongside angel investors, lecturers and aspiring angels from around the globe.

29, on Substack

Sometimes I write

My Substack is called 29. When something is worth saying, it goes there.

Intern with Ada

107 applications in 5 days

One of my LinkedIn post about why companies stopped hiring junior interns brought 107 applications from about 25 countries to my experimental project: Intern with Ada.

Signature workshops

Two formats I have built and run end to end, and can bring to your team.

Built with Lovable

A hands-on session where you go from an idea to a working product.

Sell with Clay

A hands-on session on finding the right people and reaching them, from the list to the first conversation.

I also hosted She Builds on Lovable, Lovable's initiative for women building with the tool, and I am part of the Clay Devis host group, the women-led offshoot of Clay Club.

What I am looking for

A growth, partnerships, GTM or community seat at a B2B company. I run outbound, set up the systems behind it, bring the partners and grow the community around your product.
