Applications are now open for the new AI'preneurs cohort

Astana Hub announced the start of applications for the new AI'preneurs accelerator program, which will bring together specialists from various fields to develop innovative solutions in the field of artificial intelligence.

The program is designed for developers, engineers, analysts, business developers, marketers, designers, as well as product, project, and sales managers. Participants will have the opportunity to enhance their AI skills and turn their ideas into real projects.

The accelerator will take place in Astana in an offline format, with housing provided for out-of-town and international participants. The training will last three months and will include lectures, individual consultations with experts, and practical work on projects.

The program is divided into three stages:
— team formation — getting to know participants and grouping by interests
— idea validation — testing hypotheses, selecting the best solutions by the Investment Committee
— product development — refining projects, preparing for Demo Day before investors and corporations.

As a result of the first cohort of AI'preneurs, 50 specialists were selected from 250 applications, forming 21 teams. Nine of them successfully completed the program, and the best received funding through Seed Money. In the first month, their startups collectively earned $17,000. Among the projects: AI CARD for ultrasound heart diagnostics, AVM.AI for combining video cards, KAFTAN — an ethnic game, and SalesFlow for automating sales.

Teams will receive support from personal trackers who will monitor progress and help build processes. Participants will also attend workshops, guest lectures, team-building events, and have access to GPU resources and datasets. The best startups will receive preliminary investments through a SAFE contract.

Application deadline: April 1. You can apply here.
