Success Stories

It has become somewhat uninteresting to watch podcasts where everything seems to come so easily for everyone. It’s all the same. We have launched our own podcast, «Imperfect Startup» Watch here.

The concept of «Imperfect Startup» is different from others, as it aims to show today’s heroes as they are in real life, without preparation, showcasing both their strengths and weaknesses. It also highlights how these heroes act in uncertain conditions, as well as their attempts to explain complex, science-intensive, and high-tech innovations in simple terms.

In this episode of «Imperfect Startup,» we have special guests:

• Shokan Maratuly – producer and soloist of the legendary Kazakh boy band «All Davay.»
• Yerbolat Orazbekuly – one of the active young leaders in the development of innovation ecosystems, a PhD scientist, tech broker, engineer-technologist, co-founder of the Association of Business Incubators and Accelerators of Universities of Kazakhstan, and founder of the venture company Kendala.
