DOMiNO Ventures has made its first investment in Central Asia to an AI startup GoDays!

GoDays, which offers personalized recommendations to prevent mental health problems and work-related burnout among employees who work on computers, has received investment from DOMiNO Ventures, 500 Startups, ChocoFamily, and Aloqa Ventures with a $5 Million valuation.

With the increasing awareness among employees and corporate management in recent years, GoDays, a Kazakhstan-based company operating in the rapidly growing “Corporate Wellness” sector, was founded in 2021 by Yelnur Kai. GoDays predicts employees’ psychological burnout conditions using its artificial intelligence-supported analytic tool, aiming to prevent negative situations and improve employee experience. With its developed technology, the company received an investment of $600,000 from DOMiNO Ventures, 500 Startups, ChocoFamily, and Aloqa Ventures, reaching a post-investment valuation of $5 million.

Having succeeded in acquiring major clients in Kazakhstan, GoDays, headquartered in USA, aims to improve the employee experience for banks or large corporations operating on an international scale. While increasing their market share in the Kazakhstan market, they also aim to expand into Europe, Japan, South Korea, and other Central Asian countries.

GoDays analyzes keyboard usage behaviors to measure and predict employees’ levels of burnout, thereby preempting potential negative situations and enhancing employee performance efficiency and productivity by offering recommendations for workflow processes. With the growing interest in recent years in improving employee experience, GoDays distinguishes itself from other ventures from various countries operating in this field by collecting personally identifiable information. This approach allows GoDays to offer more advanced, customizable, and effective interventions, providing the startup a competitive advantage.

Mustafa Kopuk, Founder and Managing Partner of DOMiNO Ventures, said the following regarding the investment: “In 2023, we expanded our portfolio by making 11 new investments in globally focused technology startups in the areas of artificial intelligence, gaming, and Web3. We observed that the economic growth and technological development in Central Asia in recent years have created an environment that supports entrepreneurship, and we conducted an intensive discovery and evaluation process for ventures in this region.

This investment is a significant step towards achieving our goals in Central Asia and is part of our strategy to capture opportunities in the region at an early stage. We aim to make more investments in 2024 and support the ventures in our portfolio to become significant players in the global market.”
