Haddini As Kulubu: How Bora Ozkent Built a 2,500-Member Turkish Investing Community on Skool

Haddini As Kulubu is a Turkish investing community where members share portfolios, analysis, and market views, and it does something most communities never do: its entire about page is a risk-and-terms disclosure. Bora Ozkent runs it as a monthly-subscription community for serious investors. With about 2,505 members, it is a top-58 earner on the Skool Games leaderboard. This breakdown looks at the model and why leading with compliance can be a trust move.

The founder does the selling

Bora Ozkent

The founder of Haddini As Kulubu, a Turkish community for investors who want to share and study portfolios, analysis, and market commentary. He runs it as a serious, rules-based membership and states the terms plainly rather than making income promises.

Bora sells credibility through restraint. There is no hype, no promised returns, and no screenshots of profits. Instead the about page is a clear statement that nothing shared is licensed investment advice, that members are responsible for their own decisions, and that membership is a monthly subscription with no refunds. For a Turkish audience wary of "get rich" trading groups, that sober, compliant tone is itself the differentiator, and it filters for members who take the market seriously.

What Haddini As Kulubu sells

The about page is unusual: it is a full disclaimer and terms notice in Turkish. Kept verbatim in the original language below, word for word, with the key parts numbered. Hover a number to see what each line is doing (tips in English).

Read as a builder, this is the "compliance as trust" playbook: in a regulated, scam-adjacent category (retail investing), leading with an honest disclaimer signals seriousness, filters out people expecting guaranteed profits, and protects the founder. The about page doubles as a terms agreement, so every member has consented to the rules and the no-refund policy before they join. The absence of hype is the selling point.

The funnel, step by step

Haddini As Kulubu converts on credibility and clear terms, then retains through shared portfolios, analysis, and an active moderated community.

The retention driver is ongoing, timely analysis plus a moderated room. Markets move constantly, so members stay subscribed for current commentary and the discipline of a rules-based community. The no-refund, terms-first framing sets expectations so members join for the long haul rather than a quick flip.

The formula you can copy

Lead with the truth in risky categories. A clear "this is not licensed advice" statement builds trust with a skeptical audience and keeps out members with unrealistic expectations.

Make your about page an agreement. Stating rules, subscription terms, and a consent line means every member joins having accepted them, which reduces disputes and refund pressure.

Sell ongoing value, not a promise. In markets, timely analysis and a disciplined community are the reason to stay subscribed. See M71 Trading, The Capitalist Network, and the top of the Skool leaderboard.
