🎉 Graduation of Acceleration Program Batch 5!

🎓 Last week, we officially graduated Batch 5 of our startup acceleration program at Plug and Play Uzbekistan — celebrating an incredible journey with 14 startups that successfully completed the cohort.

The graduation ceremony took place at the stylish PLOV Lounge & Banquet Hall, blending Uzbek tradition and modern European energy — the perfect setting to mark this milestone.

The evening was all about connections, celebrations, and new beginnings — saying goodbye to Batch 5, welcoming the next cohort, and reflecting on how far these startups have come.

🎤 Muhammad Mahmudov, Director of Plug and Play Uzbekistan, together with Shakhzod Narzullaev from IT Park Ventures, presented the graduation certificates and congratulated the founders on completing the program.

👏 A big shout-out to our Batch 5 startups:
MoliyAI, Akinda, Smartcast, uspace.uz, Heemera | Crypto Investigations & Asset Recovery, Detecting AI, Livuvo: Interactive Video Platform, OvozAI, Choice, CheckEye, Generation Impact Global SA, PromptLab, Meiman.uz, HomeYor, Bronsport, Yoqla, Minora AI and Zukko.AI.

We’re proud of everything this cohort has achieved — and even more excited to see what comes next. The journey doesn’t end here, but it’s just getting started.

🎤 Meet MoliyAI - one of our standout Plug and Play Batch 5 alumni.

When they joined the program, MoliyAI was already generating revenue yet needed a sharper strategy to scale. Throughout intense mentorship weeks, the team refined their pricing and defined their customer segment. They also sharpened their go-to-market approach, expanded into new regions, and strengthened their impact with key clients. These efforts led to MRR growth of 50% and reduced non-performing portfolios by 40% for strategic partners.

🏆On top of that, the team has achieved remarkable recognition: they took first place at the President Tech Award 2025, winning a $100K grant, and even met the President for their achievement. Earlier, they were nominated as Best Fintech Startup 2025, highlighting strong market validation for their solution.

💰 MoliyAI is building an AI-powered credit scoring systems for banks and financial institutions. What makes their space interesting: credit scoring in Uzbekistan is shifting. Banks are moving away from traditional verification, and MoliyAI is ahead of that curve. Their model is built around personalization where each client gets a solution tailored to their specific needs.

We can’t, of course, forget the people behind these achievements - Otabek Davronbekov and Bekhzod Aliev. What stands out most is their strong commitment and first-mover mindset, which they showed throughout the program. They brought energy and drive to every session.

Proud to have worked with them. Can't wait to see what's next 🚀
