On April 28, the fifth pitch organized by the Ukrainian Startup Fund took place in the form of a remote video conference. Eight startups presented their ideas. We are pleased to announce that at a meeting of the Supervisory Board of the Fund, it was decided to finance two of them, namely:
Legal Nodes. The legal marketplace that helps technology businesses to resolve legal issues in different countries of the world. The winners of the latest Lviv IT Arena Startup Competition 2019 were included in the 15 best Ukrainian startups that were selected to participate in the Ukrainian delegation at Startup Grind 2020 in Silicon Valley, organized with the support of USAID and the Ministry of Finance.
ChoiZY. An online career guidance platform that helps teens choose a profession and professionals share experiences with young people. Practice on the platform is realized through a task from teachers, and soon for vacancies from practitioners. In addition to adolescents who want to decide on a profession, our platform is open for professionals willing to share experience, educational companies representing services and universities, familiarize themselves with their specialties.
