Ukrainian Startup Foundation will conduct the fifth selection of startups that have received high marks from experts. Pitch Day, given the quarantine, will be held remotely on April 28, using the service for video conferencing – Zoom. Everyone will be able to follow the live broadcast on our official YouTube channel.
“The fifth pitch can already be called traditionally remote. The quarantine is still on the streets and when it will not be known exactly. But it’s known that we will continue to consider applications from startups and give grants to the winners. The format has already been worked out and has shown its effectiveness. In addition, the fifth pitch it’s special for me because it’s our first anniversary. It’s nice to remember how it all began and how it continues to produce results”, – Pavlo Kartashov, Director of the Ukrainian Startup Fund, comments on the announcement.
