On August 27 at 10:00, Almaty Hub will host a session with Levan Kavtaradze, Investment Director at an international fund and an active private investor.

Levan was among the first investors in Kazakhstan’s 1Fit and Finflow startups. The fund’s portfolio includes four unicorns: Bolt, Pipedrive, Wrike, and PandaDoc.

This gives Levan a unique vantage point: seeing the patterns shared by companies that grow into global leaders — and whether that potential can be identified at an early stage.

At the session, we will discuss:

🦄 which startups have the potential to become the next unicorns;

🔎 which signals investors notice long before major growth;

📈 what distinguishes a company with 10x potential from simply a good business;

🌍 what opportunities are opening up for Kazakhstan’s startups today;

🚀 and most importantly — can Kazakhstan produce several more unicorns in the coming years?

Join us to hear the perspective of an investor who has already backed companies of global scale and is now looking at the next generation of high-potential startups.
