In October last year, Kazakh Ambassador to the US Yerzhan Ashikbayev had an informative conversation with StartX CEO Joseph Huang and Darsh Mann on the support ecosystem for startups and creative ways in advancing tech and innovation. And the thing is that after 10 years, when the company is doing well, there’s a lot of giving back and that’s what the community represents.”ĭarsh’s visit is a follow-up of several meetings that he and other senior executives at StartX had with Kazakh diplomats in the United States. “When founders come to us, they’re either a student or somebody starting a company, we help the person. Talking about the success story, today, over 16 unicorns have been formed and three of them are even decacorns with over $10 billion valuation,” said Darsh, emphasizing his organization’s focus on helping founders on their journey for free. “StartX represents a community of entrepreneurs, which have come out of the Stanford ecosystem. Here in Kazakhstan, Darsh met with organizations and individuals involved in forging an innovative ecosystem in the country. Based in Palo Alto, California, StartX is a non-profit community of serial entrepreneurs, industry experts, tenured Stanford professors and well-funded growth-stage startups, initially developed through grant funding from Stanford University and Stanford Health Care to support the Stanford entrepreneurship ecosystem.
