Kazakhstan and Dealroom.co: Shaping Global Startup Growth

Kazakhstan is emerging as a global leader in tech innovation, with a rapidly growing ecosystem capable of producing billion-dollar and even decacorn startups at a pace comparable to the U.S. and China. Yoram WijngaardeDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, founder and CEO of Dealroom.co, highlighted this achievement during the Digital Almaty 2025 forum, noting that while the U.S. and Europe still dominate in startup numbers, Kazakhstan is outperforming others in the speed of creating "decacorns" — startups valued over $10 billion. Companies like Kaspi, valued at over $10 billion, are prime examples of Kazakhstan's fast-developing IT ecosystem.

Currently, Kazakhstan accounts for 15-20% of venture capital investments in Central Asia. Dealroom.co, a leading platform tracking startup ecosystems, has analyzed 101 Kazakh startups and plans to expand its database, thanks to growing collaboration with Astana Hub . This expanded database will provide deeper insights into the country's startup landscape and foster further global collaboration.

Integrating Kazakhstan's startup ecosystem into the Dealroom.co platform is crucial for attracting global investments, helping local companies scale internationally, and solidifying Kazakhstan's position on the global innovation map. Dealroom.co tracks over two million startups and investors globally, offering a unique platform to assess investment opportunities and predict market growth. This integration presents Kazakhstan with increased access to capital, strategic partnerships, and global networks, positioning the country as a key player in the global startup scene.
