Who really funds the future -and who gets left behind?
In the modern economy, venture capital sits at the center of innovation, determining which ideas scale, which technologies dominate, and ultimately, how entire industries evolve. Yet, access to a deep, structured understanding of this field remains extremely limited.
The Young Economists Society presents a highly selective, advanced workshop:
“Who Funds the Future? The Role of Venture Capital in Innovation & Growth”, conducted by Bekhzod Khoshimov.
This program is designed as a rigorous, small-group learning experience, going beyond surface-level discussions to uncover the economic logic, strategic thinking, and decision-making frameworks used in real-world venture capital.
Participants will engage with:
1. Investment decision-making under uncertainty and asymmetric information
2. Startup valuation and expected return dynamics the role of venture capital in innovation cycles and market creation
3. Real-world case studies bridging theory and practice
This is a rare opportunity to access insights typically discussed within professional and academic circles, delivered in a structured and interactive format.
Admission is intentionally restricted:
Limited seats to ensure depth of discussion and quality of engagement
Exclusive access for YESU members only
Certificates of completion awarded to participants who successfully complete the program
Registration only through website: https://yesu.uz/en/event
Participation in this workshop signals both academic curiosity and a serious interest in understanding how modern economies are built.
