R&D Hub
We established our R&D hub in Central Asia due to its unique combination of untapped technical talent, rapidly evolving education systems, and growing demand for quality education. However, we are fully committed to expanding globally in our distribution and sales efforts.
From Advising To Building
Over the past 10 years, our team has advised all 5 Ministries of Education in Kazakhstan. Additionally, we’ve advised the region’s top‑performing edtech startups, with a collective current valuation of $275M. We are now focused on leveraging our expertise to co‑found startups and build them internally.
Schools
The single and most definite focus of ARVS is ventures. However, schools serve as the foundation for rapid product insights and provide stable cash flow to support the studio’s operations. When you work solely with ventures, they either require external investments or reinvest profits to scale. This is why the venture studio model necessitates cash‑generating businesses. We’ve secured this with our high‑performing private schools, creating a dual impact of generating revenue and providing a powerful platform for rapid product testing.
Team
Out of 22 people at ARVS, 12 are engineers, 8 are education professionals, and 5 hold other roles. We are fostering an engineering culture driven by domain experts.

Edtech Is About To Change
Edtech is on the brink of a major transformation. Thinking from first principles, AI enables personalized adaptation in learning. Low‑cost devices paired with worldwide networks guarantee broad accessibility, and robotics fosters hands‑on experiential education. All creates a big opportunity for new products to be created.
It Is Time To Build
We believe schools are vastly underserved by software and hardware solutions. This conviction stems from our direct experience in managing schools. We are committed to creating a system where schools and technical teams collaborate in a fast‑paced environment, delivering the products that the market has lacked for years.
Education Sector
Education stands out as a resilient sector, historically less vulnerable to market volatility compared to others. Today, transformative opportunities abound as AI innovations reshape learning, administration, and assessment. At ARVS, we see education not only as a stable foundation but also as a dynamic domain where emerging technologies fuel continuous improvement and unlock new horizons for scalable products to be developed.

Resources
ARVS offers edtech startups experimentation fields, human capital, distribution networks, and early‑stage funding to accelerate product development and drive rapid iteration. Meanwhile, we are building our own startups internally.
Schools Collaboration
School collaboration has been central to collecting ML training data for NLP models at scale. We believe this approach unlocks exciting opportunities for technological advancement, while ensuring our R&D teams focus on in‑demand technologies, enabling ARVS to consistently prioritize the right products.
Venture Studio
We did not want to be a holding, because we want to be open to early‑stage ideas and external founders. We did not want to be a fund, because we want to provide human capital in addition to financial capital and participate in the company’s day‑to‑day activities. Thus, we decided to structure ARVS as a venture studio.

Next Industries Expansion
While ARVS is rooted in education, we recognize the potential to expand into adjacent sectors. Our technical teams are eager to work on complex problems, our education teams define the product offerings, and our schools provide platforms for product building. We are excited to explore neurotechnology that helps children learn more effectively, as well as healthtech tools that ensure safer and healthier learning. By leveraging our product development engine and school partnerships, we aim to pioneer solutions that support not just academic achievement but also holistic well‑being for students.
Co‑Founders
We now act as distribution co‑founders, driving go‑to‑market strategies in both private markets and B2G, as technical co‑founders. We specialize in software, hardware, and ML development. We’re equally excited to lead high‑level strategy and decision‑making. We’re driven by challenging, exciting projects that bring scalable products to life through innovation.
