Ukrainian Startup Fund and UNIT.City start cooperation

Pavlo Kartashov, Director of the Ukrainian Startup Fund, together with UNIT.City CEO Dominik Piot signed a partnership memorandum.

“UNIT.City has been helping the Fund for a long time and has become a true friend and partner. From the very beginning of our work, we have been here and not a single startup pitch has gone beyond these walls. We share common interests and values. We are also united by a common goal – to contribute to the development of the Ukrainian startup ecosystem. That is why, given the urgent need to create better conditions for its development, taking into account the best world practices, we are pleased to announce the signing of a joint memorandum and the start of fruitful cooperation already at the official level. We will direct our efforts to strengthen the image of Ukraine as an innovative and technological country and the development of the Ukrainian startup ecosystem,” – said Pavlo Kartashov.

The purpose of the memorandum is to establish strategic cooperation between the Ukrainian Startup Fund and UNIT.City, as well as to identify ways of mutual support, including the organization of events aimed at implementing optimal solutions for the development of the startup ecosystem in Ukraine. Participation in joint projects, events, meetings, etc. is expected.

The first practical step in this direction will be the joint organization of NEST Bootcamp in July-October this year. This is a free intensive 3-month course for promising startups, aimed at supporting them and helping them create new technology products.

“NEST is our response to the current crisis. This is the answer to the question that haunted us: ” What can we do to support startups? How can we help them survive and reach a new level? “NEST is a platform for startups, which exactly now they need financial assistance, platforms for exchange of opinions and mentoring. And we could not bring it to life without the help of one of the project partners, the Ukrainian Startup Fund. It finances the most talented Ukrainian startups, provides huge support to the community and has been a resident of UNIT for more than a year .City. We are sure that it is thanks to such connections that something real and useful can be created,” – comments on the details of the cooperation Dominic Piot.
