Deepen founder Farhod Furkatov appears on IT Park's The Founders podcast

IT Park has published an episode of its podcast The Founders featuring Farhod Furkatov, founder of Deepen, on 5 November 2026, according to the episode description.

Deepen began by helping gyms stop using notebooks, Excel sheets and cash-based management, the description says. The Uzbekistan-born startup is now described as building an AI-powered wellness platform that combines gym software, consumer fitness products, computer vision, health data and wearable devices.

The episode lists several topics: how Deepen moved from a B2B SaaS product to a wider wellness platform, and why bringing software to Uzbekistan's fitness industry was harder than writing the software itself.

It also covers expansion into Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, AI coaches that can analyse workouts through a phone camera, and Deepen's own wearable device and health-data plans.

The description mentions raising at a $6 million valuation and Farhod Furkatov's wish for Deepen to be acquired within five years. It gives no further detail on the raise, its size, its investors or its timing.

The description frames the episode around competition with notebooks and Excel, and around the claim that the next large health-tech market could be built far from Silicon Valley.
