FAQ
Wait is this for real?
Absolutely. Since 2018 our community of over 1000 founders has met monthly (with summer recess - no one is in town in the summer anyway) to grab drinks, grow our family, and make shit happen for founders building businesses in our part of the world.
Born from the early days of Techstars Dubai where we would engage in shenanigans while building together, our community is responsible for more meaningful connections in the startup community in Dubai than we care to count. We would LOVE to have you come. Sign-up at tacostars.org to come to an IRL event and meet fellow tacos!

We literally had the WSJ write about us:
Where will the money go?
Our monthly event is discounted but not free. We have some great community perks, but would love to invest way more. We imagine our community not just as a pillar of boozy fun for founders in Dubai, but a tea house that travelers passing through Dubai can call home as well. All capital raised will go towards fulfilling the TacoStars Master Plan:
Throw a party 🎉
Gather people and build a community 🤗
Invest in making the community great 💯
Make shit happen for the community (we are here) 🔥
Invest in what the community is doing 😎

Who is behind this project?
🌮⭐️ TacoStars was founded by @sheynk or “He Who Wears The Sorting Sombrero”. Yes there is a real sombrero. No you can’t wear it.
How do I get in touch?
Best way is to holler on Twitter to @tacostarshq
Is there a Discord Server?
No. We tried that and no one cared. TacoStars is on WhatsApp and Telegram only.
How does the community keep you accountable?
We are an IRL community. We gather in real spaces. Literally hundreds of people in our community know @sheynk IRL. There is nowhere to run.
The real money in NFTs is in long tail commissions and community building. People who pump and dump are shortsighted idiots.
Will there be a DAO?
Great question! Our goal is to eventually transition treasury and community controls out. With that said - there are a lot of challenges here as we want to impact our community by investing in founders, purchasing benefits, and engaging in other community focused activities that need bank accounts, IDs, and all sorts of paperwork.
On a practical level we will likely elect delegates which will then form an IRL board of a non-profit. To set expectations, this is unlikely to happen until the infrastructure is there (staffing, financial controls, legal structure, etc). Order of operations is: Build really cool shit and then give it away. In short … nah.
