In Tashkent, the international startup acceleration program Investment Readiness Accelerator is launching.

MOST C-Space Hub, with the support of general partner SQB Ventures and UNDP, announces the launch of the Investment Readiness Accelerator Tashkent — an international acceleration program for Pre-Seed and Seed stage startups ready for growth, scaling, and fundraising.

The program will be held in a hybrid format — online and offline — over 12 weeks. Up to 20 startups will be selected for each cohort. The program will culminate in a Demo Day, where teams will present their projects to investors, investment funds, and corporate partners.

The Investment Readiness Accelerator has already proven its effectiveness in Kazakhstan. Among the program’s alumni are startups that significantly increased revenue and secured substantial investments, including YAYA with $234,000 MRR and over $700,000 in investments, CTOGram with over $2 million in investments, Garderob with $2.6 million in investments, and Cerebra AI with over $4 million in investments.

The launch of the accelerator in Uzbekistan is a step toward strengthening cooperation between MOST and C-Space, aiming to combine entrepreneurial expertise, investment know-how, and market access opportunities.

One of the key advantages of the program is its team of experienced advisors and practitioners:

— Pavel Koktyshyov — CEO MOST Holding

— Bakht Niyazov — Founder of Justart VC Studio, venture investor

— Dilmurod Khodiev — CEO C-Space

— Farrukh Maksumov — CEO C-Space Startup Center

The program focuses on cash flow growth and preparing startups for investment. Participants will work on increasing revenue, preparing for fundraising, structuring deals, developing growth strategies, and connecting with investors. The potential investment volume for graduates can reach $200,000.

Startups from Uzbekistan with an MVP, revenue of at least $1,000 MRR, a team of at least two people, and a clear understanding of their customer and market are invited to apply.

The mission of IRA is to help businesses grow. Real cases in Kazakhstan have shown that when a startup knows how to calculate, sell, and structure a deal, growth and investment attraction follow.

This program is for those who want to achieve real revenue growth and close deals. We will guide startups toward measurable results: revenue growth, scaling, and investor readiness.

Supporting such initiatives strengthens the investment climate in Central Asia and creates conditions for sustainable startup growth.
