UzVC and SQB Ventures to invest 275 thousand dollars in Robosell

UzVC and SQB Ventures will invest $275,000 in Robosell, an Uzbek SaaS platform that allows entrepreneurs to launch online businesses without technical skills or outsourcing. In the country, about 80 percent of SMEs still lack an online presence due to high cost, lack of digital expertise and complexity of integrations, reinforcing the demand for the solution.

The platform combines the creation of a website, Telegram bot and mini-application with the connection of payments, delivery, CRM and analytics in a single admin panel, lowering entry barriers for aspiring merchants. Robosell launched the country's first business mini-app in Click Super App, giving brands instant access to millions of users without developing their own app. Mini-apps can reduce development and promotion costs by up to 90 percent and simplify the customer journey from product browsing to payment.

KPMG estimates that Uzbekistan's e-commerce market will exceed $1.76 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate of over 41 percent, confirming the potential for scale. Robosell estimates the addressable market at $1.69 billion and plans to attract at least 2 percent of its target audience in three years, or about 19,000 active subscribers.

Founder Mashkhurbek Ergashev calls the investment a reaffirmation of trust and preparation for the Dec. 5 demo day of the UzVC SGP 2.0 program. The funds will be used to scale in Uzbekistan and expand into the markets of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan with increased development, integrations and marketing.
