First Ticket Night: Recap

On August 21, Activat VC hosted an event that brought together early-stage startups and business angels.

Projects valued at up to $2 million took the stage. Three startups received prizes from SmArt.Point — passes to its coworking space and conference rooms.

The event also marked the launch of 1st Angel Club — the First Angel Club. This new initiative focuses on supporting startups at the very earliest stages, when founders already have initial results but do not yet meet the criteria of venture funds. The club was created for those who want to be not just investors, but the first to believe.

The club gained its first members at its very first event: the angels showed interest in the startups, and the first conversations began. This process takes time, but we are confident it will bear fruit for both investors and founders.

We thank all the participants, as well as our colleagues from venture funds, for their support.

Special thanks to the event partners: SmArt.Point, The Tech and Almaty Hub.
