00:00I'm Asim Bolajan, I'm a Chapter Director of Women in Tech Kazakhstan.

00:16When we started the Digital Kazakhstan program, I decided to be involved more in IT.

00:22And from 2015, in all this community, I was only one woman in room.

00:29If you are in this minority, it is your personal story.

00:33So that's why I decided we need to do something to support and to involve in tech in IT more women.

00:43My name is Renata Yulubaeva. I'm a CEO of Alfa Rabi Innovation Hub Dubai.

00:47At the same time, I'm an Astana City Lead for Women in Tech Kazakhstan Chapter.

00:52And I'm also supporting Female Founders 3.

00:54Actually, I'm in the technology and IT sphere for more than eight years now, I believe.

00:59I came from the international relations sphere.

01:02And I've always been a lot of competing with all of the men, not just because of a woman,

01:07but I'm just was a very newcomer in the industry.

01:10My name is Agirim Nurkaliyeva. I'm a mom of two, and I'm a surreal entrepreneur.

01:19For the last 12 years, I'm performing with small businesses like beauty salons.

01:24And for nowadays, I'm building my second startup.

01:26For the last five years, I'm dealing with this IT industry with no technical background.

01:31And it is a very awesome experience to develop and be the part of such a great industry

01:38because the industry is new, the ecosystem is new, and you have a chance to be the part of the big story.

01:48What I see during years in Kazakhstan, we do improve all of the business processes,

01:55and we do improve our technology development, and it's also improved for women.

01:59For women, it's a big challenge because we are in male-dominated country, in male-dominated region in general.

02:05One year ago, we launched the chapter Women in Tech here in Kazakhstan

02:09because we need to be part of some global community

02:12because Women in Tech globally has 65 chapters over the world.

02:16The first obstacle that I met was actually in my mind.

02:20I was really disrupted and was thinking that if you don't have a technical background, there is nothing to do.

02:27This is the main mistake that most of the girls are having right now.

02:31Ecosystems like Astana Hub and Women in Tech are helping the girls and people around to change this mindset

02:40because if you have no technical background, even though you can do the startup,

02:44because you can have lots of experts in different acceleration programs, and you don't have to pay for that.

02:50In general, in STEM in Kazakhstan, we have about the 25-30% of presence of women in technologies,

03:00and it is quite good, yes, because in average, it is global statistics, and we are good at it.

03:05So, but we need to pay attention on female founders.

03:10We have not so many female co-founded and founded startups.

03:14We have not so many women in venture industry as a venture capitalist in general.

03:19So that's why recently we've announced our first female venture fund,

03:24and we would like to involve more women as investors.

03:27Because mostly in VCs, in the decision maker, there are also men on the other side who are making decisions.

03:33In Women in Tech, Kazakhstan, for the female founders, we are trying to build one more platform,

03:38one more space for negotiations, for fundraising, business development to support those female.

03:43Because it's not very easy.

03:44You come from work, you have a second shift, you have children, you have stuff to do, cleaning, cooking, a lot of things.

03:49And especially in Kazakhstan, we are a very traditional country.

03:53You have to have a lot of negotiations with your relatives, with your husband's relatives.

03:57At the same time, going back to work, you're a boss, you're a leader, you're a C-level decision maker.

04:02So it's very hard. It's even very hard to do mentally.

04:05My personal advice will be start today.

04:07Don't wait the ideal moment, whatever you want.

04:10Just test your ideas, test your hypothesis.

04:13And this is my main point to show the women that even with no technical background, even with children, even in Central Asia,

04:21you can build everything you want.

04:23Just it is the problem of communication, of knowledge and the ecosystem that we have.

04:32So that's why it is very important to make this big ground and accelerate not only the startups,

04:37but also the female venture capitalist community.

04:40In three years, we can build a more strong technological community of female startups, I'm sure.

04:48So our VC and our platform from Kazakhstan will quickly develop into the central hub VC, I think.
