FEATURED STORY23 days

I had a YC batch starting and zero margin to spend on apartment hunting. Kevin's team had three vetted units within four days, two of which would have been off-market without them. By week three, lease signed, LLC registered, accountant introduced. I worked from a finished apartment on day 24.

Tomas R.
Senior engineer, remote (Stripe)

I'd been told banking was the hard part. They booked the meeting at Halyk, came with me, translated, and I had a card before lunch. The hard part for me ended up being the gym membership, which they also handled.

  • Banking and SIM in one morning
  • Apartment in Dostyk in 8 days
  • Skipped 6 weeks of admin

Family of four, remote founders

School placement was the deal-breaker. Kevin's team had us through Haileybury admissions in three weeks, found a 220m² house in Medeu, and arranged a driver for the school run. We landed and our seven-year-old was in class on day five.

  • School placement + house + driver
  • Family doctor on call from week one
  • Moved with a cat (paperwork hell, handled)

Solo founder, fintech

I came for two weeks to scout and stayed for two years. Quick Setup got me a SIM and account before I could find my hotel. When I decided to stay, they upgraded me into the apartment and helped register the company. Everything I needed, none of the back-and-forth.

  • Same-day SIM and Kaspi
  • TOO registration in 18 days
  • Permanent residency filed

I'm not the typical client. I do six-week stints, then leave, then come back. Resident is perfect because I just ping them when I'm landing and the apartment is unlocked, the SIM is reactivated, and there's a list of openings worth shooting that month.

  • Apartment kept warm between trips
  • Translator for permits
  • Almaty's best photo spots, on call

James W.
Author, sabbatical

I was writing a book about post-Soviet capitals and decided to actually live in one. They found me a writing studio in Samal-2 with a mountain view, helped me get a year visa, and introduced me to translators when I needed source material.

  • Apartment with view in 11 days
  • 1-year humanitarian visa
  • Local research network access

Remote PM, two kids in tow

What sealed it was the school visit. Kevin walked us through three options on day two, ranked them honestly with their own kids in mind, and didn't push the most expensive one. We picked Miras and the boys are thriving.

  • Three school visits in two days
  • Furnished house, 4-bed
  • After-school program enrollment
