Kazakhstani startup RE:CREATE AI has attracted $150,000 in investments

Kazakhstani startup RE:CREATE AI, a graduate of the first cohort of the AI’preneurs accelerator by Astana Hub, has raised $150,000 in investment from Activat VC and Jas Ventures.

RE:CREATE AI is a trend and scenario search engine for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. It helps experts, entrepreneurs, and small businesses discover and recreate the most viral content formats based on data on reach and engagement. Users select a topic and receive a set of proven ideas for content marketing, saving time and resources.

The startup underwent significant transformation before reaching its current form. Initially, the team developed an automation tool: a service that extracted scripts from videos and adapted them. However, after communicating with users, it became clear that the main need was ready-made ideas. Thus, RE:CREATE AI became a trend search engine.

Participation in the AI’preneurs program was a turning point for the project. Before the accelerator, the team had only a basic MVP, which founder Zakirzhan Aisabaev used to promote his personal blog on social media. During the program, the team conducted dozens of user interviews, registered a legal entity in the US, tested paid subscriptions, and reached the post-MVP stage with its first stable sales and over 10,000 users.

After completing the accelerator, RE:CREATE AI participated in the Clash of Startups startup battle organized by Activat VC, where it took third place. This attracted investor attention, and when the project's user base exceeded 10,000 within two months, they decided to fund the startup.

The raised funds will be used to expand the development team, launch a mobile application, improve AI models, and scale marketing efforts.
