OUR FIRST EVENT

tigr took the stage for the first time: we're finalists at the Creative Business Cup Turkey

At the Creative Business Cup (CBC) 2026 Turkey final, hosted at İzmir University of Economics on July 24th, we pitched tigr in public for the first time and came back as finalists among 9 projects.

A first

Until now, we'd only pitched tigr to each other and a handful of early users. On July 24th we did it for the first time, on a stage, in front of a jury, in a full room. The Creative Business Cup (CBC) 2026 Turkey final was held at İzmir University of Economics, hosted by the Create in İzmir program.

What we pitched

The problem we described was simple: teams keep collecting data with analytics tools, but most don't have the time or the team to actually read it. By the time they notice something's wrong, the damage is already done. What we're building tigr toward is the opposite: a tool that plugs into your stack, works like a growth team, and gives you a plain summary instead of a chart to decode.

9 projects, one final

9 projects made the CBC Turkey final, and tigr was one of them. For us it's simple: it's the first time we stepped outside the circle we'd built, and a jury on the other side of it decided tigr was worth taking seriously.

What's next

This was our first public moment, not our last. We're still building tigr early-stage, and every piece of feedback, from the jury and from you, is shaping the product.
