I’d really like Ukraine to be included in the global agenda of the global technological ecosystem. And if Digital Future can contribute to this story, then the partnership with USF is a logical realization of this goal», Oleksiy Vitchenko, the founder of Digital Future, commented on the beginning of cooperation.

According to Pavlo Kartashov, CEO of the Ukrainian Startup Fund, PR is no less important for young startup teams than grants. «In the fund we have already witnessed situations when some startups even refused our funding due to attracting investment after impressive pitches.
