Launched by the FREE Ukraine Foundation jointly with the Ukrainian venture capital and private equity association (UVCA), this program aims to provide targeted assistance to Ukrainian IT entrepreneurs, their employees and families who are exposed on the ground to the war and need help right now.
These people’s lives, and the existence of their companies – which are deeply connected with the global economy – are at stake.
“Support Ukrainian startups NOW” is a grant program for IT service companies and tech startup from Ukraine. While many other programs target refugees outside the country, “Support Ukrainian startups NOW” focuses on those who are staying in Ukraine.
This program is to support the companies and people in the most critical situation, according to our selection. We are committed to full transparency in the selection process. You may support one or several specific companies. If your help is targeted, it will definitely reach its addressee!
