Tim Draper talks with someone from Idos Games about building a gaming startup in Kazakhstan and the struggle for recognition. A child at the Digital Bridge Forum told them they wanted to become a game developer because of their work, a moment that showed why visibility matters for the local industry.

Being a gaming startup in Kazakhstan, it is already a challenge. Nobody even heard about gaming studio located in Kazakhstan. Sometimes they don't know even where Kazakhstan is. During like the Digital Bridge Forum, we have met a little guy who met, "Hey, you are Idos Games. I love your game." His mom said in the future he wants to be a game developer. My heart was like I don't know like my feelings. I was. Like an emotional bomb in me just blowed up.
