What is UzCombinator?

UzCombinator is an accelerator that takes your startup to its next stage, whatever stage it is at today. We spend 45 days beside you: product, customers, funding. Not theory: mentors who have actually built companies, and a room that cares only about results.

Founder-first

The whole program is built around founders and their growth.

Speed and results

A working product and first real customers in a short time.

Strong environment

Shoulder to shoulder with the country's most talented teams - competition and collaboration.

Global outlook

We build products for the world market, not just the local one.

raised from investors

In Batch 1, 16 startups left the stage with funding. The largest single investment was $150,000.

03What you get

Why UzCombinator?

Not a course. In 45 days your startup is in the shape an investor wants to see — money, people and a stage in one place.

01
$1000 stipend
For 45 days you think about the product, not the rent.
02
One mentor a week
Someone who has built a company, one on one. Not theory — a road already walked.
03
Demo Day
The room is investors who write cheques. In Batch 1, sixteen startups raised that day.
04
Community
55 startups, coaches and investors — still in your phone when the programme ends.
05
Results every week
By Friday there is something to show. Not a plan — a thing that works.
06
A global market
It starts in Tashkent. It does not stop at the border.

05Inside

How the six weeks go

Every week has one clear goal.

week / of 06

01
Week 1
What you're building
One sentence: for whom, what, and why you.
02
Week 2
The first version
Not a drawing. Something a person can pick up and try.
03
Week 3
Face to face with customers
Ten conversations. The answers that hurt are the ones worth having.
04
Week 4
Growth
The first paying customers. Numbers choose the channel, not guesses.
05
Week 5
The company
Equity, paperwork, the numbers. Ready in a minute when an investor asks.
06
Week 6
The stage
A three-minute story, told a hundred times before the stage.
