AI'PRENEURS ALUMNI

Alibek Abdekov

CEO AVM

AIpreneurs was our first acceleration program and gave us a huge boost: expert support, tracking, resources, and early-stage funding helped us survive, adapt, and grow into a real startup. Even after a pivot, we kept the core — how to validate the product and work with clients. Special thanks to Aruzhan and Vasiliy for supporting us every step of the way. We highly recommend AIpreneurs as a powerful entry point into the startup world!

Aigerim Nurgaliyeva

CEO STIKER.AI

AIpreneurs is one of the most structured and result-oriented accelerators I've joined. Despite a tough year, two kids, and two running businesses, I turned an idea into a product, built a team, made sales, and entered the US market. This program offers not just knowledge, but an action-driven environment — even in uncertain times. Thanks to Astana Hub for the trust and support. Proud to bring value and be part of Kazakhstan’s startup ecosystem.

Zakirzhan Aisabayev

CEO re:create

AIpreneurs is where developers become entrepreneurs. I came in as a regular developer and left as a Tech-Founder with a business mindset. I learned to understand customers, pitch ideas, make sales, speak to investors, and take full responsibility for business growth. For me, it was a point of no return. Grateful for the journey that changed my thinking and career.
