Astana Hub Resident Hero's Journey Prepares to Launch Innovative Fitness Studios in New York
In mid-November, it was announced that Astana Hub resident Hero's Journey had raised $6 million in investments, with a valuation of $30 million. This Kazakhstani startup is developing innovative fitness studios with elements of gamification, which are already operating in Almaty and Astana. Soon, these studios will also open in New York, with the funds raised from investors being directed toward launching the first gym.
Hero’s Journey founder Ilias Isatayev, in an interview with Digital Business, shared how he managed to secure such a large investment within Kazakhstan and why an additional $1 million will still be needed. The discussion also covered the challenges he is currently facing in the New York market, including the lack of trust in startups from Kazakhstan, and how realistic it is to compete with local players. The interview also touched on the round with American investors and the potential for Hero's Journey to go public through an IPO in the future.
