Mobile game Grand Mobile has attracted $750,000 in investment from Astana Hub Ventures

Grand Mobile announced the raising of $750,000 in investment from Astana Hub Ventures, a fund within the structure of the largest international IT startup technopark in Central Asia. The deal was concluded with a company valuation of $75 million.

This partnership is part of Grand Mobile's long-term strategy aimed at strengthening the company's global position and accelerating its entry into international markets.

The partnership with Astana Hub Ventures will open up a wide range of resources and opportunities for Grand Mobile, including participation in international acceleration programs, access to MENA, Southeast Asian, and Eastern European markets, as well as strategic support in scaling the product.

The company's goal for the near future is to enter new markets and strengthen its position on the international stage. The raised investments will be directed toward developing the key product, expanding the team, and launching marketing campaigns outside the CIS.

Grand Mobile is a mobile open-world online game developed by the Kazakhstani game development studio Grand Games. To date, the game has been installed more than 60 million times, with a monthly active user base exceeding 5 million people. The game was created by 27-year-old entrepreneur Roman Lineytsev from Ust-Kamenogorsk, a participant in the "30 under 30" ranking.

Roman Lineytsev, Founder of Grand Mobile
In fact, we secured funding several months ago. We viewed raising investment not as a necessity, but as a strategic step. Astana Hub Ventures is not just capital. It provides access to unique industry expertise, systematic scaling experience, international connections, and a powerful ecosystem. Such a partnership helps us move faster, smarter, and more sustainably toward our larger goals.

Magzhan Madiev, CEO of Astana Hub
We launched Astana Hub Ventures with the understanding that investments should be a continuation of strategy, not one-off support. Grand Mobile is a strong team with a product that has already proven its viability in the international market. It is important to us that such companies establish themselves in Kazakhstan, scale up, and create new industries. It is especially valuable that Grand Mobile grew not in the capital, but in a region. This confirms that projects with global potential can emerge anywhere in the country – given ambition, a product, and an ecosystem ready to support development. Such examples show that the country can be not just an observer, but a full participant in global processes.
