Kazakh startup CYBERPACK.AI has received $25,000 in funding from Telegram founder Pavel Durov. The fund attracted the founder’s attention during the startup’s presentation at the Astana Hub Battle finals at the Digital Bridge 2025 international forum.
The funds will be used to scale up production, develop a mobile application and artificial intelligence module, increase the team – programmers, engineers and methodologists – as well as develop education in the regions and enter the international market.
CYBERPACK.AI offers a mobile application, web platform and educational constructs for children in the field of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics). The project also includes a web platform, methodological software, pedagogical training and competition systems for teachers. This approach allows students aged 7–18 to create scientific projects, prepare for Olympiads and prepare scientific portfolios for technical universities.
Over the course of a year, the startup has implemented its product in 70 schools across Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and organized international ICRC competitions. The team has gone through Astana Hub's Startup Garage incubation program, increased the number of schools by 10 times, entered the international market, and established systematic processes for scaling.
It should be noted that Pavel Durov announced the opening of an artificial intelligence laboratory in Kazakhstan at the Digital Bridge 2025 forum, stating that this technology will provide safe, transparent, and effective AI opportunities for national and global users.
