Mentors Network

Hi!

I’m Temerlan — a business development lead, ecosystem builder, and startup mentor with a focus on early-stage growth, strategic partnerships, and investor readiness.

‍

I currently serve as Business Development Manager at KPMG, where I lead cross-sector engagement and represent the firm in the Foreign Investors Council under the President of Kazakhstan. My work spans digital transformation initiatives, policy dialogue, and support for startup ecosystems in Central Asia.

• I help founders identify growth opportunities, build meaningful connections, and prepare for early fundraising rounds

• Strong regional network across corporates, government, and the venture landscape

• Selected for the Perplexity AI Business Fellowship as one of the early regional adopters

‍

I believe in thoughtful growth, clear narrative, and the power of the right introduction at the right time.
