Kazakhstan's AI Startup RE:CREATE AI Raises $150,000 and Attracts Over 20,000 Users in Just Three Months
Kazakhstan-based startup RE:CREATE AI, a graduate of the inaugural cohort of the AI’preneurs accelerator by Astana Hub, has raised $150,000 in investment from Activate VC and Jas Ventures.

RE:CREATE AI is an AI-powered trend and script search engine for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The platform helps content creators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses discover and recreate the most viral content formats based on real-time data on reach and engagement. Users simply select a topic and receive a curated set of proven content ideas—saving time and resources on content marketing.
The startup underwent significant transformation before evolving into its current form. Initially, the team was developing an automation tool that extracted and adapted video scripts. However, after engaging with users, it became clear that the primary need was for ready-made ideas. This insight led to the pivot toward a trend discovery engine.
Participation in the AI’preneurs program was a turning point for the project. Prior to the accelerator, the team had only a basic MVP, which founder Zakirzhan Aisabayev used to grow his personal blog on social media. During the program, the team conducted dozens of user interviews, registered a legal entity in the U.S., tested paid subscriptions, and moved to the post-MVP stage with steady sales and over 10,000 users.
“Before joining AI’preneurs, I built products for the code. Now I build for the customer. The program taught me how to sell, structure a business model, and persevere through challenges. I went from being a solo developer to a founder worth investing in. There were times I burned out physically and mentally, but that’s when I realized — value is more important than functionality. Our first annual subscription sale proved we were on the right track,” said Zakirzhan Aisabayev, founder of RE:CREATE AI.
After completing the accelerator, RE:CREATE AI participated in the Clash of Startups battle organized by Activate VC, where the team secured third place. The achievement drew investor attention, and when the project surpassed 10,000 users within two months, it resulted in a funding decision.
The raised funds will be used to expand the development team, launch a mobile app, improve AI models, and scale marketing efforts.

Очень круто! 🔥 И мы готовим к запуску соцплатформу с AI-интеграцией — у нас подобный девайс будет доступен каждому про-аккаунту по умолчанию (без США 😉) Пока это часть пилотного проекта (и это не голословно), но уже интересно, как всё будет синхронизироваться: AI-помощник, соцсеть, контент — и всё по-местному, с казахским характером 🇰🇿 Постараемся запустить тесты до конца месяца. 👉 https://astanahub.com/ru/blog/budushchee-kazakhstanskikh-sotssetei-i-ii-kto-gotov-sozdat-svoiu-ekosistemu
