IT Park Ventures announced new investments in six technology startups in Uzbekistan. Five deals — with Bigmart, ORA, Layf, Q.Watt, and UrbanDrive — were presented on September 22 at the Startup & Venture Summit as part of ICT Week Uzbekistan 2026. Another project, Tezbor, received funding through the Digital Startups 1+1 program. The companies will use the funds to develop products, expand teams, and enter markets beyond the domestic one.
ORA received the largest disclosed check — $150,000 from IT Park Ventures and another $50,000 from a private venture fund. The startup is developing an AI platform for brands and bloggers, automating creator search, script preparation, publishing, and results analysis. Bigmart received $100,000 to develop a B2B marketplace with over 40,000 products, including the launch of an AI assistant for procurement forecasting. Layf also attracted $100,000 and is developing infrastructure for online stores, delivery, and super apps.
Q.Watt received investments without disclosing the amount. The company is developing a power bank sharing network and urban micromobility: it owns over 4,900 stations and 1,500 bicycles, and its monthly audience exceeds 97,000 users. Q.Watt's services are already operating in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Bulgaria. IT Park Ventures notes that the new investments should help startups scale and more actively enter international markets.
