White Hill Capital and Yandex Qazaqstan Announce Strategic Cooperation

White Hill Capital, the management company of Tumar Venture Fund, has announced a new strategic partnership with Yango Ventures, the corporate venture fund of Yango Group, the parent company of Yandex Qazaqstan, which has joined the fund as an investor.

The partners believe that this cooperation will create conditions for a more systematic development of the startup ecosystem in Kazakhstan by combining the fund’s investment expertise with Yango Group’s international experience. This represents a new model of innovation support for the country.

Aslan Sultanov, Managing Partner and CEO of White Hill Capital, commented:

“It is important for us that a team with strong expertise in technology markets across dozens of countries is joining the fund. The trust shown by Yango Ventures demonstrates that our work is delivering results: we are creating value and building an environment where startups can grow faster. This is the first case in the country where an international technology group invests in a venture management company rather than in individual startups. This decision reflects the growing interest of major technology players in the Central Asian market.”
