Participants of the Silkway Accelerator are actively attracting investments

Participants of the joint Google for Startups and Astana Hub program have collectively raised $400,000 in investments, including as part of Digital Bridge 2023. The Mongolian startup Gocare received $300,000 from business angels Bauyrzhan Kydyralin and Kuangan Oralkan, while the Tajik startup Zypl.ai raised $100,000 from Astana Venture Club.

The Gocare app, developed by participants of the fourth cohort of the Silkway Accelerator program, allows users to earn Care points as rewards for walking, as well as provides the opportunity to receive cash, discounts, and benefits for goods and services. In addition to participating in competitions organized by various entities, users will be able to create their own challenges and compete in walking races.

The founders of Zypl.ai, during their participation in the first cohort of the Silkway Accelerator, raised $1,100,000 in investments, expanded sales in the markets of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and increased their valuation from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000. Currently, more than 20 financial institutions across six markets—from the UAE to Kazakhstan—are using AI-based software from this startup for credit scoring.
