Pitch of the Ukrainian Startup Fund Graduates

On December 4, the Ukrainian Startup Fund (hereinafter —  the Fund) will hold an English-language pitch of startups that have already received grants from the Fund. Representatives of international investment funds, business angels, private investors, grantors and accelerators are invited to the pitch.

Some of the best startups of the first year of the Fund’s grant activity will present their projects. You will see 17 winning teams of the Fund’s Grant Program, which were selected according to a specially developed methodology of the Fund  —  some of them attracted additional funding after the grant, some were selected in leading international accelerators, some are already successfully selling their product, and some have demonstrated the most effective use of grant funds. Startups have the opportunity to present their projects to representatives of the global startup ecosystem, and investors can meet the Fund’s graduates and assess their level. The event will take place online, so everyone will be able to watch the live broadcast of the pitches on our official YouTube channel.

By December 2, 2020, a year had passed since the start of applications by the Ukrainian Startup Fund. And now we are ready to show reputable investors some of the best startups, which were selected by experts of the Fund and received grant funding. For the first time, startups will not fight for grants, but will face investors, each of whom can potentially change their destinies. Such a meeting is important for both parties, as startups are always looking for funding, and investors, in turn, are happy to pay attention to promising teams.This is the first, but not the last event of this format. We are confident in our graduates, and therefore we are waiting for exciting performances and results! ” comments the announcement Pavlo Kartashov, СEO of the Ukrainian Startup Fund.
