Central Asia

Investment advisory services in Central Asia to unlock capital in underserved markets

Our Presence in the Region

Our team advises capital providers and local companies throughout the investment process, with the goal of mobilizing private investment into underserved markets across the region, including Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan.

CrossBoundary was founded through early work in Central Asia. Our transaction advisory to development finance institutions, private equity and venture capital funds, microfinance institutions, and innovative local companies helped prove the investment facilitation model for fragile states.

Since then, CrossBoundary Advisory has successfully closed $37M+ in high-impact transactions in two of the region’s fragile markets across diverse sectors, including agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing.
