Speaker Talk c Almaty Hub

Strong projects are almost always backed not only by successful decisions, but also by mistakes, failed hypotheses, losses, strategy reassembly, and difficult turning points.

In this speaker talk, we will look at exactly how failures affect the development of a startup, why there is no strong entrepreneurial growth without them, and what conclusions really matter in practice.

The speaker is Yerkin Berdalin, founder of OZEN Finance, a fintech startup that was one of the first in Kazakhstan to start digitizing bazaars, building a digital infrastructure for one of the most complex segments of small business. Today, the company's solution operates at 6 bazaars in Shymkent, 2 in Almaty and 1 pilot facility in Astana, covering 9,000 retail outlets.

Let's take a look at speaker talk:

  • what mistakes do founders most often make at different stages of startup development?;
  • What hypotheses, solutions, and approaches may fail?;
  • what conclusions from past projects have helped shape a stronger approach to business launch and development?

Come to speaker talk to hear an honest analysis of the entrepreneurial path without embellishment, understand how mistakes turn into experience, and pick up insights that will help you avoid unnecessary losses in your own startup.
