Mad Devs is \u201cone of the top local companies\u201d in Kyrgyzstan\u2019s tech scene, says Aziz Soltobaev, co-founder of KG Labs, an organization working to boost the country\u2019s tech infrastructure \u2014 although there are a few other companies eyeing international prominence, including software development platform Zensoft. Many of the other leading companies have offices abroad or foreign founders, says Soltobaev, making Mad Devs one of the few to remain in Bishkek. \u201cOne of the challenges is a lack of talent,\u201d he says \u2014 a problem that Mad Devs tackles by training dozens of unpaid interns in-house, several of whom have no formal training. The team calls their grueling program \u201cThe Hunger Games,\u201d which ends with a \u201chell week\u201d during which the office sofas become makeshift beds. Minkin leads the internship program, mainly because of his size and intimidating physical appearance, says Klimenko.<\/p>\n
