CLICKI has signed two paid pilot contracts worth a combined $4,300 and opened a $100,000 pre-seed funding round, founder Asanali Tursumbayev told raem.kz. The startup offers brands a platform for user-generated videos with payment tied to verified views. The commercial figures are company-reported and have not been independently verified.
What is independently documented
In a report published on 17 October 2026, Maqsut Narikbayev University identified CLICKI as a platform developed by its International School of Economics students Asanali Tursumbayev and Rauan Aidarkhan. The university described a service through which businesses can view campaign statistics and pay creators for confirmed views, and reported that the project was presented at AI & Digital Bridge 2026.
Separately, Business Analyst’s company record, citing Kazakhstan government registration data, lists CLICKI Labs as registered on 13 July 2026 and names Tursumbayev as its head. These sources document the project and company background; they do not independently confirm the pilot contract value, current creator count or funding round.
What the company reports
According to Tursumbayev’s responses to raem.kz, CLICKI had more than 500 active creators as of October 2026, while four additional brands were finalising contracts. He said the team had launched a working first version of the product, funded development with the founders’ own money and conducted more than 50 customer research interviews with entrepreneurs and marketers.
The company describes its product as infrastructure for UGC, or user-generated content, supporting short videos on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Threads. It says its model applies a threshold of 2,000 views per video, collects analytics through social media APIs and checks for inflated view counts before paying creators.
Who the platform is for
CLICKI says its initial target customers include online education businesses, e-commerce companies, mobile apps, retail businesses and brands selling directly to consumers. The company also says it uses artificial intelligence to help prepare briefs for creators.
According to the team, Tursumbayev oversees strategy, customer research, sales and fundraising. Co-founder Rauan Aidarkhan manages marketplace operations and creator relations, while chief technology officer Mark Tsarenko is responsible for platform architecture, AI tools, social media integrations and checks for inflated view counts.
Funding and plans
Tursumbayev said CLICKI is seeking $100,000 through a SAFE to expand business sales, develop the product and automate the platform so customers can use it independently. The amount is a fundraising target, rather than funding already secured.
The company’s stated goals for the next 12 months are to grow its network to more than 20,000 creators across Kazakhstan and the CIS, attract more than 60 regular paying brands and reach operating break-even. These are plans, rather than achieved results.
