Kazakh startup ranks among Silicon Valley’s top 10

Kazakh innovations continue to conquer Silicon Valley. This time, the IT startup TrustMe entered the top ten startups, enabling contract signing within seconds via SMS, messengers, and biometric verification. The signed documents are then encrypted and stored on the blockchain, eliminating forgery attempts. Notably, over 850,000 people are using the domestic project, and the number of signed contracts has reached one million. The next step includes expansion into Russia, Turkiye, the United States, and Gulf countries. The startup also plans to become the first Kazakh unicorn with a $1 billion valuation.

«Our system is unique, as there are no comparable solutions in the world. We have the ability to automate the terms of any agreement using smart contract technology. The simplicity and reliability of our solution enable us to expand rapidly worldwide. More than 150 countries recognize the electronic digital signature (EDS) we have developed. We are confident that within a couple of years, we will achieve our goal of becoming a Kazakh unicorn – a company valued at $1 billion or more. By showcasing our project, we hope to attract not only Tim Draper but also other investment funds interested in supporting new initiatives in our country,» said project manager Chingiz Dauletbayev.

By 2029, Kazakhstan intends to create five unicorn companies, increase IT exports to $5 billion, and annually launch at least 25 artificial intelligence (AI) products in various economic sectors, as outlined in the AI Development Concept.
