The Ukrainian Startup Fund will hold the 17th Pitch Day
The Ukrainian Startup Fund will hold the seventeenth selection of startups for state financing which have received high marks from experts. Pitch Day, due to quarantine, will take place on November 27 remotely, using Zoom, a service for video conferencing. Everyone will be able to watch the live broadcast on our official YouTube channel.
“The last pitch this fall is dedicated to young startups at the pre-seed stage. This stage differs from the later stage and receives increased attention,, because there are very ideas that play significant role and everyone is longing to hear them. The strongest projects will meet the winter with grants that will definitely help to “warm up” this cold year. An interesting detail – more and more startups still listen to the advice of our experts and do not hesitate to apply a second time. This time we will see three teams that are our record, who did not give up because of the defeat and are ready to present their startups again” – CEO of the Ukrainian Startup Fund Pavlo Kartashov comments the announcement.
