Yagiz Karadeniz spent time with founders and their teams, digging into the real challenges behind scaling, together with Aziza Satybaldyeva, 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 in our Uzbekistan office.

Two practical, no theory sessions were delivered:

🔥 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆
20 startups, ~40 team members
12 hours non stop, deep into the night.

A very hands on, sometimes uncomfortable (in a good way 😄) deep dive into
GTM strategies, traction, growth blockers, and what’s actually holding teams back from scaling.
Honest teardowns, open discussions, tough questions, and clear next steps.

💡 “𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗖 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆” Workshop at 𝗬𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀
~40 early stage founders

We discussed how VC fundraising really works, what matters beyond pitch decks, where teams usually overestimate readiness, and what “institutional” truly means at an early stage.

One thing was very clear:
𝗨𝘇𝗯𝗲𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 has strong founders.

To move faster, the ecosystem needs more spaces for early, honest feedback, global perspective, and experienced capital, before mistakes become expensive.

There is a lot ahead.
More sessions. Deeper founder support. More work on turning local talent into globally scalable companies.
