This document outlines a proposal to establish an investment bank in Kyrgyzstan called East Star Capital. It would attract foreign capital to invest in Kyrgyz businesses through joint ventures or providing "smart capital", helping businesses access overseas stock exchanges. This would allow Kyrgyz businesses to access funds and expertise while maintaining control. It presents this as an alternative to simply selling assets to foreign companies. The goals are to invest $100 million in 10 Kyrgyz businesses in the first year and prepare 10 more for investment. This would keep profits within Kyrgyzstan's economy rather than being shipped overseas.

1. Bringing Kyrgyzstan to the World
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power
and magic in it! ”
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

2. Kyrgyzstan’s Future
Lack of investment funds, high interest rates and lack of smart
foreign capital means less growth opportunities
There needs to be a mix of foreign investment and local investment
There needs to be a viable alternative to simply selling off assets to
foreign companies
The way for Kyrgyzstan to grow rich is to learn from foreign
investment and to do it themselves.

3. A registered Kyrgyz company to act as a investment bank in Kyrgyzstan
Staffed with international and Kyrgyz professionals with international
support
To attract Foreign Capital that invests in (generally not buys outright)
Kyrgyz businesses and projects as either a joint venture partner or smart
capital.
To liberate Kyrgyz business by the introduction of Foreign Capital and
Intellectual Property.
To allow Kyrgyz businesses the freedom , the cash, liquidity and
management skills to grow profitably through access to overseas Stock
Exchange Markets.
To prepare Kyrgyz business to be able to IPO, or RTO in those overseas
Stock Exchanges
To reverse the trend of profits being shipped offshore by foreign companies
and keep the profits in Kyrgyzstan

Direct Investment Smart capital that
in Kyrgyz releases IP into
companies rather Kyrgyz businesses
than outright rather than
purchase or senior external
positions knowledge silos
Profitable
The importing of businesses attract

5. An Example
Kyrgyz mid sized business needs capital to grow
Current Options
-Borrow monies from a bank at high rates
- Seek inadequate capital from family and friends
-Sell a majority share (80%) in the business to raise
License
capital and loose control of the assets
-DON’T GROW

6. An Example
East Star Capital Option
-Take a small amount of seed capital now
-Work with East Star to become Investor ready
-Increase the value of the business
-Look to take the business to a public offering on a foreign
stock exchange raising required capital and maintain a
majority interest in the business.
