UzVC is Uzbekistan's first VC firm, now operating as a government-backed fund of funds under the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Our mission is to empower and accelerate our national startup ecosystem.

Beyond capital deployment, we're active ecosystem developers who have built meaningful relationships with key stakeholders across the international innovation landscape. Our track record includes significant contributions to Uzbekistan's startup community - from launching acceleration programs to fostering connections between founders, investors, and government partners.
