The 3rd anniversary of the launch of the Ukrainian Startup Fund: Summary in facts and numbers
This year, the 3rd anniversary of the launch of the Ukrainian Startup Fund coincided with the 138th day of the war. However, despite the martial law, Ukraine’s technology sector has demonstrated extraordinary resilience. It was a test of the strength of the ecosystem. Startups have become hardened, adaptive, able to work in conditions of almost 100% uncertainty and crisis.
In order for the startup ecosystem not only to survive, but also to become stronger, it is very important to support Ukrainian startups and help their development – both financially and non-financially. The work of the USF is currently focused on this. The Fund continues to search for opportunities to support Ukrainian startups — both domestically and internationally.
