The event was organized by BGlobal Ventures together with the international investment holding Raison, Astana Venture Club in the regional hubs Astana Hub - Mangystau Hub and Atyrau Hub. The topic of the event was "Venture capital - as an alternative way of investment".
VC Roadshow became a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs, startups and investors to learn all the most important things about a new product for Kazakhstan - venture capital. At the event, experts spoke about the basics and prospects for the development of venture investments in Kazakhstan, an analysis of the current state of the market and new opportunities for investors.
The invited speakers were co-founder of the Raison holding Andrey Berezina, CEO of BGlobal Ventures Abay Absamet and CEO of Astana Venture Club Nurasyl Dzharbasov.
“The event was organized at a high level, and it is especially pleasant to see the growing interest in venture capital in the regions. We are at the beginning of the journey and are already playing a leading role in the development of venture capital culture, both among startups and investors. I was pleased to observe the discussions and hear truly thoughtful questions from the participants, who clearly approached the matter with complete seriousness. VC Roadshow performs two important functions: it promotes financial literacy, protecting investors' funds that are directed to new companies, and it opens up the opportunity for young professionals to learn how venture financing and technology companies are organized in other regions. This also demonstrates that successful projects can be created in Kazakhstan by improving the country's infrastructure,” says Andrey Berezina.
“We have completed our educational initiative under the auspices of VC Roadshow, in which BGlobal Ventures, Astana Venture Club and Raison visited the cities of Aktau and Atyrau to meet the local community and conduct educational workshops on venture investing. The audience included potential and current investors, entrepreneurs, and startup founders who showed a deep interest in the topic of venture. Participants actively asked questions about various aspects of venture investing, including choosing promising projects, risk analysis and how to effectively manage an investment portfolio. We see that the event was a success. This initiative will be continued to popularize venture capital in the regions of Kazakhstan.” - commented Abay Absamet, CEO of BGlobal Ventures.
Nurasyl Dzharbasov believes that “Holding such meetings in various cities together with our partners allows us to inform businessmen and investors about the opportunities of the venture market, while clearly explaining the level of risks associated with it. We are glad to see serious interest from the participants and hope that we were able to be useful for the listeners. We made every effort to convey important information and support the development of entrepreneurship.”

Our speakers and partners from BGlobal Ventures, Astana Venture Club and Raison shared many useful insights. Such events are very important for the youth of Atyrau and other regions, as they show how to work and develop startup projects.” The event took place at 15:00 at two sites in two cities of Kazakhstan - Aktau and Atyrau.
