UMAY Labs will hold a lecture-workshop on mentoring in IT startups for students at MUIT in Almaty on 30 October 2026, from 15:00 to 16:00. The event takes place offline at Manasa 34, Almaty, with free entry and no preliminary registration, according to the Astana Hub events listing.
The session is for students who want to find a startup idea and work out how to develop it with a mentor. It covers the path from a user problem to a solution hypothesis, and how to test demand for a product and judge whether an idea is viable before launch.
A second part deals with choosing a mentor: what experience to look for and how to frame a request for help. UMAY Labs also plans to cover work with a mentor during the launch stage, including how to prepare for meetings, discuss next steps and assess whether the advice given was useful.
The workshop closes with questions from participants and a discussion of how to apply mentoring support to the tasks of their own projects.
