PLATMA, an AI Business Automation Platform, has become a member of the Alchemist Accelerator– one of the leading Silicon Valley B2B accelerators for technology startups. The platform, which has received investments in Central Asia and has an office in Kazakhstan, has become one of the few companies invited to the Alchemist Accelerator.

The PLATMA platform, which transforms natural language into functional work and business processes using artificial intelligence, has become one of the participating companies in the international Alchemist Accelerator 2025 program. 

The startup will receive investments from the Alchemist Accelerator, access to a training program, and strategic support from leading technology corporations and venture capital funds. A total of 20 companies have applied to participate in the Alchemist Accelerator 2025 program, which is 3% of the total number of applications.

“It is a great honor and responsibility for us to be a member of such a program as Alchemist Accelerator. The US market is one of the leaders in digitalization, and we are confident that the experience and knowledge provided by participation in an accelerator of this level will be useful for the AI and No-code technology market in Kazakhstan,” said Yaroslav Kologrivov, co-founder and CBDO of PLATMA.

Alchemist Accelerator 2025 specializes in technology companies with b2b solutions and is recognized as one of the most influential programs for b2b startups in the world. Alchemist Accelerator's partners include Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer, DFJ, Founders Fund, and Fortune 500 companies.

Alchemist believes that the PLATMA solution using advanced natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence algorithms to convert user requests into ready-to-use solutions is part of the trend of the AI agenda and the need to optimize business processes of companies around the world. In addition, the program's experts praised the platform's achievements: MRR PLATMA grew by more than 4,000% from October 2023 to March 2024 and exceeded $250,000.

"PLATMA's entry into the Alchemist Accelerator is not just the success of one company, it is a recognition of the maturity of the Kazakh technology sector at the global level. Graduates of this accelerator have already attracted more than $3.9 billion in investments, and now we have the opportunity to become a part of this success story," said Erik Aubakirov, CEO of EA Group.

The acceleration program, which started on January 13, 2025, includes intensive mentoring and consultations from industry leaders, including Tim Chou, Former CEO of Oracle-on-Demand, lecturer at Stanford University, Kris Duggan, Former CEO, Betterworks; Former CEO of Badgeville, Adam Pisoni, Co-Founder, Yammer (MSFT) and Elaine Wherry, CXO / Co-Founder, Meebo (GOOG) and the heads of other technology companies.

The six-month program will end with a Demo Day in May 2025, where PLATMA will present its platform to the international investor community. Statistics show that about 50% of the program participants attract investments from $250,000 to $1.5 million before the Demo Day.

In 2024, PLATMA raised $2.25 million at a valuation of $20 million as part of a pre-seed funding round. The leading investor was the Kazakh investment holding EA Group with an amount of $500 thousand. The round was supported by investment funds Almaz Capital (USA), StartupWiseGuys (Estonia), CAUCASUS VC (Azerbaijan), Aloqa Ventures (Uzbekistan), as well as investment funds from Kazakhstan – Tumar Venture Fund, MOST Ventures, ACTIVAT VC, business angel Murat Abdrakhmanov and others.
