MoonAI founder Askhat Adkhamov pitched the product in a Shark Tank–style format. The platform enables companies to deploy AI agents across sales, customer support, and operational processes without the need to build in-house ML teams or complex infrastructure. The solution is tailored for small and medium-sized businesses and is already used by hundreds of companies across Central Asia.
Investors highlighted the project’s validated traction, rapidly growing market, and strong founding team. Despite intense competition in the AI solutions segment, following negotiations Oskar Hartmann decided to join the company on the proposed terms.
“At early stages, it’s not only about raising capital, but also about building the right negotiation position. The ability to defend the interests of both the business and investors creates long-term resilience and directly impacts the quality of future funding rounds,” said Askhat Adkhamov, Founder of MoonAI.
In addition to the deal with Oskar Hartmann, MoonAI has also received soft commitments from several private investors and angel investment clubs. The company plans to allocate the raised funds toward product development and preparation for scaling.
The collaboration with Oskar Hartmann goes beyond financial investment. MoonAI has already begun piloting its AI agents within selected businesses from the investor’s portfolio. The partnership model is based on direct communication and a high level of mutual trust.
Previously, the Kazakhstan-based startup MoonAI raised $50,000 from venture fund ACTIVAT VC, $75,000 from Uzbekistan’s venture fund IT Park Ventures, and $200,000 from Most VC.
