Almaty Hub invites you to an open Speaker Talk, “Founder PR as Capital: How to Build a Brand Without Getting Lost in the Noise,” featuring Nastya Nemtsova — a PR strategist with more than 10 years of experience and former PRD for Murat Abdrakhmanov and MA7 Ventures.

For more than five years, Nastya shaped Murat Abdrakhmanov’s public brand — from his first public communications to his position as one of Central Asia’s most recognizable venture investors.

Reputation is an asset that can work for a business just as powerfully as its product, team, or investments. But how can founders build a strong personal brand without getting lost in an endless stream of content and media coverage?

At the event, Nastya will explain:

🔥 how media visibility differs from reputation;

🔥 how to turn a personal brand into reputational capital that supports long-term business and career goals;

🔥 why clear positioning matters more than constantly chasing reach and media attention;

🔥 how a public image influences trust within the professional community;

🔥 what signals investors pick up about startups and founders through the media landscape.

Using real cases from the venture industry, we will explore how reputation helps solve business challenges, attract new opportunities, and build trust. We will also discuss why a founder’s personal brand is becoming an important factor in a startup’s success.

This is an opportunity to gain a practical perspective on PR, ask an expert your questions, and understand how to build a public image that supports your long-term goals.

AI has significantly accelerated product development: hypothesis generation, research, analytics, and MVP assembly now take hours instead of weeks. But accelerating development does not guarantee business growth.

Now the limits of growth are shifting towards product launch, user engagement, and the quality of management decisions.

On August 27, we will hold a webinar and discuss:

— how are roles and processes in product teams changing under the influence of AI;

— how to reallocate resources between development, sales and marketing;

— how is the approach to prioritization and decision-making changing when the speed of hypothesis implementation increases dramatically;

— where AI can give a business result, and where the illusion of efficiency.

Who would benefit from:

• C-level for managers and directors 
• CPOs and project managers 
• To the CEO and founders 
• Business consultants and agile coaches

When: August 27 at 16:00 (Moscow time).  

Speaker: Andrey Batrimenko, Director of the Center for New Product Development at Rostec Academy, expert and tracker at the IIDF Accelerator.

Register and receive a selection of useful product development materials from IIDF experts.
