An investor looks at a startup and has just a few minutes to decide: could this be the next big thing, or is it better to say “no”?

But what actually drives that decision?

In the third episode of IT Talks, we sit down with venture investors to discuss how investment decisions are really made - through real cases, actual deals, and stories from their experience.

Why does one startup secure investment right away, while another fails to make it past the first conversation? What founder mistakes can cost them a deal? What do investors notice beyond the pitch? And what happens when investors have completely different views on the same startup?

Expect an open conversation with no scripted answers — sharp questions, debates, humor, and stories that usually stay behind the scenes.

🎙 Moderator - Vitaliy Volyanyuk, Digital Business

Featuring: Anvar Bakiyev, Alim Khamitov, Murat Abdrakhmanov, and Bakht Niyazov.

🎬 The episode will be released on the Astana Hub and Digital Business YouTube channels.
