Kyrgyzstan has adopted a law on venture financing.

Kyrgyzstan has established a legal framework for venture investments, introducing the concepts of a venture fund, business angel, and convertible loan.

On July 28, 2026, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov signed the Law "On Venture Financing." The document was registered under number 126, and parliament adopted it on June 18.

The law introduces such concepts into legislation as a venture fund, venture manager, business angel, and venture investor. It outlines the rights and obligations of participants in venture transactions and introduces international instruments, including an agreement on future equity in a company, a convertible loan, and an option agreement.

A venture fund may be established without forming a legal entity or in the form of a limited partnership or another organizational and legal form provided for by the Civil Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.

During the discussion of the bill in parliament, it was reported that there are between 300 and 500 startups in the country, most of which have a social focus. In 2024, the volume of venture financing in Kyrgyzstan amounted to 1.5 billion som.
