Over 40 transportation companies in the U.S. have expressed interest in the innovative product from the Kazakhstani startup Call2action.ai. Two companies have become clients on a commercial basis, while three others are collaborating on pilot projects, reports a correspondent from the Kapital.kz business information center, citing the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry.
Call2action.ai is a resident of the international technopark Astana Hub. According to the agency, the company's product is the world's first solution based on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), specifically designed to automate hiring in the transportation and logistics sectors. The startup offers a ready-to-use SaaS solution that makes the hiring process not only convenient but also cost-effective.
The working hypotheses of the project have proven their viability, enabling the team to actively increase traction. As a result, the startup has opened an investment round and is negotiating with venture funds and business angels. Some of them are already acting as local advisors and plan to join as investors.
“The American market is significantly different from the Kazakhstani one, but we see enormous potential for transforming hiring processes in the transportation and logistics sectors. Thanks to our participation in the Silicon Valley Residency Program supported by Astana Hub and the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry, we underwent acceleration in Silicon Valley and achieved significant results in just a few months: over 40 transportation companies showed interest, contracts were signed with two of them, and three launched pilot projects. We have potential investors for the pre-seed round, as well as attention from major Japanese corporations such as Persol Group and Mitsui Group. With such demand, we expect our product to be valued at a billion dollars within a few years,” noted CEO and co-founder of Call2action.ai, Yersultan Dzhusakinov.
The Call2action.ai team is actively developing partnerships with innovation centers in the U.S., including the Silkroad Innovation Hub, founded by individuals from Central Asia. The startup has already demonstrated its potential at major international exhibitions such as TechCrunch Disrupt and CESV 2024, establishing itself as a promising player in the global market. Additionally, Call2action.ai has been selected for an acceleration program by Mitsui Group, which will start in 2025.
