The Ukrainian Startup Fund will hold the sixteenth selection of startups which have received high marks from experts. Pitch Day, due to quarantine, will take place on November 13 remotely, using Zoom, a service for video conferencing. Everyone will be able to watch the live broadcast on our official YouTube channel.
“We are not superstitious and therefore no date on the calendar should leave startups the opportunity to present their projects. In one of the previous announcements, I talked about finding a solution that would speed up the processing of applications, and thanks to online, we’ve found it: more pitches. We break our own record and gradually move to three events per month. This is great news for applicants who do not have to wait long for their turn. You’re probably wondering when the third pitch will take place this month. This will happen on November 27 and we will see the pre-seed. I wish success to the teams!”– CEO of the Ukrainian Startup Fund Pavlo Kartashov comments the announcement.
