Vision Club in Dubai: A Fast-Track Community for Russian-Speaking Entrepreneurs
Dubai is often described as a city of opportunity, but for entrepreneurs arriving from abroad, especially from the Russian-speaking world, the first months can feel less like a launchpad and more like a reset. The market is new, the rules are different, and the familiar support system is gone.
In this context, the question “How quickly can I adapt?” becomes as important as any financial or legal decision. This is the question that Vision Club aims to answer for its members.
Founded by Aleksey Nakaznyi and Dariia Nakazna, Vision Club is today one of the most established Russian-speaking business clubs in Dubai. The community counts over 200 residents, has its own clubhouse and a dedicated app, and connects members to partner clubs in other countries.
A club built from real needs
The idea behind Vision Club grew directly out of the founders’ own relocation experience. Aleksey and Dariia saw that many entrepreneurs face similar challenges:
• they arrive in Dubai with experience and ambitions
• but without a trusted business environment
• and spend significant time and energy “finding their own people”
Rather than treating this as an individual problem, they decided to turn it into a structured solution. A club where selection, proximity and infrastructure work together to support adaptation.
How Vision Club works
Several elements define the character of Vision Club.
Selective entry
Before joining, each candidate is checked from a reputation standpoint. This is not about creating an elite closed circle for its own sake; it is about protecting the quality of interactions inside. For residents, it means that potential partners, clients or collaborators they meet through the club have already passed a basic level of screening.
Dubai-based membership
All residents of Vision Club live in Dubai. This makes the community highly practical. Members can meet quickly, visit each other’s offices, attend the same events and solve issues in real time. For those who have recently moved, this creates a sense of stability during a naturally unstable period.
Physical and digital platforms
The clubhouse serves as a space for meetings, workshops and informal conversations. The mobile app helps residents stay connected, find relevant contacts and discover opportunities inside the network and in partner communities worldwide.
Events as a catalyst
One of the most visible aspects of Vision Club is its event activity. The club brings together business content, networking and culture in one space. Among the performers who have appeared at Vision Club events are Otpetye Moshenniki, a legendary Russian band, and Nurlan Saburov, a leading Russian-speaking stand-up comedian.
These events create a strong atmosphere that feels familiar for Russian speakers while remaining firmly rooted in Dubai.
For many members, events become the starting point for:
• new collaborations
• introductions to key players in the local market
• a smoother emotional transition into life in the UAE
Why choosing the right community is a strategic decision
The story of Vision Club shows that, for entrepreneurs relocating to Dubai, choosing a business community is not just a social preference. It is a strategic move.
A founder who enters a well-structured environment:
• receives guidance from people who have already passed similar stages
• avoids part of the typical “learning tax” of a new market
• builds partnerships on a foundation of shared values and verified reputation
For many Russian-speaking entrepreneurs, Vision Club has become such an environment. A place where the path to adaptation is shorter, clearer and less lonely.
In practice, this means one simple thing. Instead of spending the first years in the UAE rebuilding everything on their own, founders can plug into an existing, living business ecosystem and start writing the next chapter of their story in Dubai with stronger support from day one.
