Applications are open until July 11, 2025 via the link.
Participants will undergo a four-month immersion in one of the world’s leading innovation ecosystems. The program includes personalized mentorship from venture partners, access to industry-specific events, hands-on sessions on U.S. market entry, and a final Demo Day with top-tier investors.
“The AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency has proven that startups from Central Eurasia are not only capable of learning from Silicon Valley, but also of becoming equal players within it. Following the first batch, 22 teams raised $1.4 million in investment and secured commercial deals totaling $380,000. Their projected revenue for 2025 is $17 million. These numbers reflect not only the region’s potential but also how a well-structured acceleration program can help scale real business solutions. We’re seeing graduates enter the U.S. market, sign long-term contracts, and continue growing even after the program ends — and that’s exactly what we aim to achieve,” said Tanat Uskembayev, Managing Director of Astana Hub.
To participate, founders must be physically present in the U.S. during the program, have a working proficiency in English, and be registered in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, including residency in Astana Hub, the AIFC, or IT Park Uzbekistan. This year, startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are eligible for the AlchemistX program, while the Silicon Valley Residency is also open to promising startups from other Central Eurasian countries through a competitive selection process.
