How it all started
I am a data analyst with 10 years of experience. The idea for the startup came to me after many years of working with data that was extremely difficult to collect and process.

In November 2023, I started the project together with IT specialist Parviz Usmonzada. A few months later, two more co-founders joined us: marketer Sherali Dzhurabaev and business analyst Aziza Kosimova. We spoke with potential clients in different markets, confirmed our hypotheses, and brought in developers to create a product prototype.

Target audience
We offer a B2B solution in the form of a big data analysis platform. Our platform is designed for large corporations and significantly simplifies access to data and its analysis.

Incubation programs
We participated in the MOST accelerator. We also won a prize of $7000 at CEVF 2024 in Almaty. The project was financed through our own funds.

Difficulties
Any startup begins with a problem. First, you need to identify a pain point that you want to solve for yourself, and then offer that solution to others. All our founders are experienced specialists in their fields who well understand the complexities of big business. We focused on solving our own problems and developed a product that we really need. A product created for your own use will always be better than one that is developed only for sale.

Achievements
We have significant traction in the Central Asian and MENA markets with large clients. Our product is already being used and tested in four countries and ten companies.

Plans
We are starting our first investment round of $500 000 in September 2024. We plan to expand the functionality of our platform and attract new customers.
