A total of 40 applications were submitted by startups from Uzbekistan to participate in Market Entry. The competitive selection process assessed product maturity, readiness to scale, and potential for entering the Kazakhstani market. Ten teams were invited to join the program, representing various development stages–from early MVPs to more established products–allowing the organizers to test the approach across different levels of project maturity.
“Market Entry has become a continuation of the systematic work we have been doing together with IT Park Uzbekistan over the past several years. We have joint initiatives in Silicon Valley, we support the Silkroad Innovation Hub in Palo Alto, and we run programs such as AlchemistX and the Silicon Valley Residency Program. This year, we also opened international hubs in Shanghai and Dubai. And this is only part of the projects we are developing together. Our partnership strengthens the ecosystems of both countries and creates the synergy on which long-term results are built,” said Magzhan Madiyev, CEO of Astana Hub.
The acceleration program was successfully completed by the following projects: Rezvo – a platform for restaurants and hotels offering tools for reservations, pre-orders, and online payments; ZoomSelling – a sales analytics service for Central Asian marketplaces; Paylov – a payment platform for internet acquiring; Stanbase – a unified database of startups, investors, and regional deals; Aigul – an AI bot for sales and lead generation; Tuzuk – a legal AI platform for document analysis and legal data processing; TTLK – an AI-driven personal fashion recommendation service; Deepen – an ERP system for managing fitness businesses; Gorent – a marketplace for renting offices, coworking spaces, cars, and other assets across Central Asia.
The batch also included Renta, a service developing a short-term car rental marketplace model. According to the team, participation in the program became an important milestone in their growth. “The program helped us structure our processes and focus on the tasks that truly drive results. Together with our tracker, we optimized marketing channels, refined our financial model, and strengthened our customer engagement strategy. During the acceleration, we raised $100,000 from AloqaVentures. We are now preparing to scale in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan,” said Sukhrobbek Odilov, CEO and founder of Renta.
The program included workshops, individual and group traction sessions, as well as mentoring consultations that helped teams adapt their products to market demands and build effective customer relations. Throughout the program, Astana Hub provided participants with accommodation, workspace, PR support, and assistance with business legalization in Kazakhstan.
