Call2action.ai, a resident of the Astana Hub international tech park, is making significant strides in the U.S. market. Over 40 American transport companies have shown interest in the startup’s innovative product, with two becoming paying clients and three collaborating on pilot projects.
As the world’s first generative AI (GenAI)-based solution tailored for the transport and logistics industries, Call2action.ai automates hiring processes with a ready-to-use SaaS platform. The solution streamlines hiring, making it both efficient and cost-effective.
The startup’s initial hypotheses have been validated, enabling the team to gain traction rapidly. This success has prompted Call2action.ai to open an investment round, attracting the interest of venture funds and business angels. Some investors are already serving as local advisors and planning to join the company.
“The American market is vastly different from Kazakhstan’s, but we saw tremendous potential to transform hiring in the transport and logistics industries. Thanks to the Silicon Valley Residency Program, supported by Astana Hub and the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry, we’ve achieved incredible milestones in just a few months. Over 40 transport companies have shown interest in our solution, two have signed contracts, and three are running pilot projects. We’re also in discussions with investors for our pre-seed round and have drawn the attention of major Japanese corporations like the Persol Group and Mitsui Group. With this momentum, we’re confident our product could reach a billion-dollar valuation in the near future,” said Yersultan Dzhusakinov, CEO and co-founder of Call2action.ai.
Call2action.ai is also strengthening partnerships with U.S. innovation hubs, including the Silkroad Innovation Hub, founded by individuals from Central Asia. The startup has showcased its capabilities at prominent international events such as TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 and CESV 2024, gaining recognition as a rising player in the global market. Additionally, it has been selected for an acceleration program with the Mitsui Group, set to begin in 2025.
Earlier, 22 promising startups from Central Asia, including Call2action.ai, were given the opportunity to participate in Silicon Valley acceleration programs through the AlchemistX & Silicon Valley Residency Program. These initiatives were launched by Astana Hub and the Silkroad Innovation Hub with support from the World Bank, the Ministry of Digital Development, and the FPIP project.
