The SGP 3.0 applications are now officially closed. We are grateful to everyone who applied and took the time to share what they are building.

Now the work begins on our end. Our team is carefully reviewing every application to select 30 startups who will be invited to join the Startup Growth Conference and Bootcamp in Tashkent on September 8-10.

Those 30 will get hands-on workshops and have one-on-one diagnostic interviews with our Silicon Valley mentor team, where only 15 of them will get a chance to be selected for the full SGP 3.0 programme.

The shortlisted startups will be notified by September 4. Stay tuned and if you applied, watch your inbox. 👀

Every startup is asking the same question right now: how do we actually build AI into our product and take it to market?

Taz Patel has lived that question from the inside. As VP of Platform Partnerships at Higgsfield AI and former Head of Advertising at Perplexity, one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world, he has spent years helping companies turn AI products into real commercial traction.

At SGP 3.0, Taz will work with founders on AI product strategy and go-to-market: how to prioritise your AI roadmap, make the right product decisions, and position your AI advantage in a way that resonates with customers and investors alike.

Most founders know AI is changing everything. Fewer know how to turn that into customers.

Jay Onda has spent his career bridging the gap between large corporations and fast-moving startups, advising Fortune 500 companies and helping founders cut through the noise to build something that actually wins in the market.

At SGP 3.0, Jay will be working with founders on exactly that: how to move beyond the AI hype and create real customer value, with practical go-to-market strategies for entering new markets and winning customers.

A thoughtful close to an intense few days: Following Demo Day and the Central Asia Venture Conference, hosted a cultural programme and dinner that brought founders, VCs, business angels, and our wider community together in a more relaxed setting.

Conversations flowed more freely, new connections formed, and the cohort had the chance to engage with investors beyond the stage and the agenda. A generous gesture by UzVC and a meaningful way to round off the programme.

Not every startup will raise funding, but everyone leaves stronger!

The real value of a program like SGP 2.0 is the network you build. Over months of learning, pitching, and problem-solving together, founders get to know each other beyond ideas. They understand each other’s drive, mindset, and mission.

So, when one startup is growing and the founder needs a Head of Product or CTO, and another community member is ready for their next move if things haven’t worked out, they already know whom to call... That’s how ecosystems grow: through shared experience, trust, and collaboration.

Meet YaYa, one of the 16 startups selected for the Startup Growth Program 2.0, led by CEO Laura Yeraliyeva.

YaYa is an all-in-one app that helps parents find and manage the best activities, tutors, and learning centers for their kids, all in one simple subscription.

If you’ve ever wished parenting came with a “make life easier” button, this might be it. Between school runs, clubs, and online classes, most parents are juggling more than ever. YaYa helps cut through the chaos with smart AI that understands each child and suggests options that actually fit.

As Laura puts it, “Our North Star is to provide access to development for one million children within three years, while maintaining a $100 per child annual margin. We’re an experienced team that knows how to build and scale both B2C and B2B startups.”

Because every child’s path is different, and finding what works shouldn’t be a full-time job.

The Startup Growth Program 2.0 is back: connecting ambition with opportunity.

Presented by UzVC in collaboration with AKS Services, this year’s program brings together 16 high-potential startups from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan for a four-month journey of learning, mentorship, and growth.

Guided by world-class mentors Asher Siddiqui, Marvin Liao, and Sharif El-Badawi, founders will gain practical insights into product-market fit, fundraising, and scaling, supported by a strong local and international network.

Together, we’re shaping the next generation of founders and building bridges between Silicon Valley and Central Asia. One idea, one founder, one milestone at a time.
