Over the past 10 years, our team has advised all 5 Ministers 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.
Out of 22 people at ARVS, 12 are engineers, 6 are education professionals, and 5 hold other roles. We are fostering an engineering culture driven by domain experts
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
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
School collaboration has been central to collecting ML training data for NLP models at Engra. 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
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 building very actively. Thus, we decided to structure aRVS as a venture studio
Our portfolio includes 8 businesses: 3 internal startups, 2 external startups, and 3 school franchises. However, ARVS is not a holding company. It is a vehicle designed to attract the best education startups and founders from Central Asia. We are committed to launching 1 successful internal startup, co-founding 2 external startups, and opening 1 new scaling private school franchise each year.
Our education team has launched some of the top-performing private schools in the region, while partnering with leading edtech startups in Central Asia. We are now poised to unite the various branches of education innovation into a lean, fast-paced environment that fosters idea generation and product development at ARVS
