Mentorship in IT Startups
UMAY Labs is hosting a lecture-workshop at International Information Technology University (IITU) for students looking for a startup idea and guidance on developing it with a mentor.
Program:
- Finding an idea: from a user problem to a solution hypothesis.
- Validation: how to test demand for a product and assess an idea's viability before launch.
- Choosing a mentor: what experience to look for and how to formulate a request for help.
- Working with a mentor through launch: how to prepare for meetings, discuss next steps and assess the value of recommendations.
The session ends with Q&A and a discussion of how to apply mentoring support to participants' own projects.
30 October 2026, 15:00-16:00.
In person, IITU, 34 Manas Street, Almaty.
Free entry. No advance registration required.
