Program "Support Ukrainian startups NOW"
The FREE Ukraine Foundation (FUF), together with the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA), has launched a program of targeted assistance to startups and professionals who are members of the Ukrainian startup community and whose innovative business now needs help.
The Support Ukrainian Startups NOW program is a grant support program for IT and startup companies in Ukraine. As part of this program, we select projects and people who have suffered the most or are in a critical situation. We have chosen a targeted approach, which is a more flexible response to the individual needs of startup projects to support them and enable them to continue their activities. This includes not only financial assistance, but also the help of additional specialists, consultants, technical support (in a broad sense), as well as support with connections and additional contacts.
Startups that participate in the program will be able to receive a grant for the immediate needs of the team for a period of 3 to 6 months (salary for the team, funds for moving equipment, etc.), free assistance from third-party specialists, assistance in attracting new employees, assistance in entering a new market, and the opportunity to attract an investor if there is such a need.
