Ukrainian Startup Fund and business accelerator FeelGoodLabs started cooperation
Director of the Ukrainian Startup Fund Pavlo Kartashov and managing partner of FeelGoodLabs business accelerator Sergiy Dovgopoliy signed a memorandum of cooperation.
“The Ukrainian Startup Fund is not only a grant program, but also access to many other non-financial tools that allow us to develop and improve startups. Today we are starting cooperation with the accelerator FeelGoodLabs, one of the founders of which is an expert of our Fund. Our applicants will have exclusive access to online materials that have been developed by gas mentors and lecturers. I am sure that cooperation will be long-term and effective”, – said Pavlo Kartashov.
The essence of the partnership is to exchange information for financial and non-financial support for startups, as well as to participate in joint projects, events, meetings and the like. Startups that have not received grants from the Ukrainian Startup Fund (like startups that have received such a grant) will be able to access gas materials, as well as other opportunities that FeelGoodLabs offers.
“We are very pleased to officially become a USF partner, because it opens up new opportunities for both parties. Our residents and graduates are already actively submitting applications to the Fund. Accelerator FeelGoodLabs, in turn, is ready to help all projects that will receive grant financing, giving them access to our online program. So, our cooperation will give an impetus to the development of the ecosystem of startups at the pre-seed and seed stages”, – says FevGoodLabs Managing Partner Sergiy Dovgopoliy.
