Big Sky Partners

Big Sky Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm with a global outlook, headquartered in Miami, Florida. Founded by Jahn Karsybaev and Adil Nurgozhin, both immigrants from Kazakhstan, the firm focuses on investing in enterprise SaaS startups, cybersecurity, fintech, and health tech. They are particularly passionate about supporting underrepresented immigrant founders, leveraging their own experiences to mentor and fund those building transformative businesses. Big Sky Capital's investment strategy centers on making early-stage investments, typically between $250,000 and $500,000, with the goal of quickly closing funding rounds so that founders can focus on growth. The firm launched its first fund with $20 million in capital commitments, positioning itself to make an impact on startups at the Seed+ and Series A stages. Notable portfolio companies include Clockster, Swaypay, and Pippin, reflecting their focus on high-potential sectors like AI, cybersecurity, and healthcare innovation. Despite the firm's base in the U.S., they have a significant presence in Kazakhstan and Singapore, enabling them to tap into unique investment opportunities across different markets. For founders, Big Sky Capital provides more than financial support—they offer mentorship and access to a strong network of investors and experts, particularly those working on cutting-edge technologies aimed at solving critical challenges.
