Ninth Pitch Day winning startups were announced

On August 7, the ninth pitch, organized by the Ukrainian Startup Fund, took place on the territory of the UNIT.City innovation park. 10 startups submitted their ideas at the seed stage (competing for a grant of $ 50,000 each). We are glad to announce that at the meeting of the Fund’s Supervisory Board, it was decided to finance three of them, namely:

• ORTY. Restaurant management system, through the introduction of self-service, delivery and chatbots, helps restaurants sell more.
• COMIN. Allows content websites to generate income from the content without additional steps, labor or special skills. Comin provides an e-commerce widget that automatically matches the product to the post content. The process of purchasing goods is carried out directly on the content website without the transition of visitors to the store site, and order processing is carried out by the owner of the goods.
• Nutritionista. An intelligent mobile app that recommends healthy food to users in nearby restaurants based on personal preferences such as food types, allergens, AI and computer vision eating habits.
