An accelerator to support social entrepreneurs in the form of an offline residency in Almaty, with experts from the Tamyr Platform and the EA Charity Fund.
For the first Tamyr Platform residency, 20–25 participants will be selected. They will have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge — from finance to digital tools — transform their ideas into business plans, expand their networks, and implement their projects through grants and stipends.
The future is shaped by brave individuals who are able to solve the problems of their communities. Tamyr is a space for these changemakers. We’re here to support those who care, turn ideas into real change, unite like-minded people in every city and corner of Central Asia.
– Aidar Buribayev
Participants will spend a week with experts from the Tamyr Platform and the EA Charity Fund as part of the acceleration program. This will allow them to improve their skills, strengthen their ability to defend ideas and turn them into startups, and clarify their project concepts. Moreover, a special guest — a friend of the Tamyr Platform and the EA Charity Fund — will join the program.
I truly believe that our project can become a forge for entrepreneurs who see community as people — not just sales.
– Dastan Akkozha
