We are a private venture fund in Central Asia. For more than 10 years, we have been providing financial and non-financial support to technology entrepreneurs, as well as conducting incubation and acceleration programs for the entire region. The Fund focuses on IT startups building an international business.
We also provide non-financial types of support to startups. By participating in the fund's acceleration programs, a startup gets the opportunity to "package" a project, prepare for receiving investments through mentoring, workshops, individual meetings with professional practitioners, as well as "hack" its growth (today known as growth hack).
Comprehensive support
We bring together founders, mentors, experts, representatives of corporations, investors and business angels on one platform. Our startups get access to this community. By holding various meetings, master classes, and training, we are growing together in all directions.
Strong community
We believe in innovators and become partners of their businesses. We select the best technology startups that create cool products. We invest for rapid scaling to global markets. A win-win strategy in which high financial risks are justified by the explosive growth of the company.
Faith in innovators
Expertise, wide network, packaging for investment, emphasis on growth hack.
