Sifted: Fundraising during an invasion — what it’s like for startups in Ukraine

 

Yesterday, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Now the future of Europe and world security is at stake in Ukraine. Ukraine defends not only its independence but also freedom, common values, democracy and security of Europe.
In the darkness times we stay strong and believe in out county, Army, talented and brave people.

“I’m Ukrainian and of course, I’m worrying about the situation. But I believe that these circumstances will make us stronger. My personal credo now: Keep calm and carry on,” says Yaroslav Prygara, cofounder of startup Remo Workspaces.
“This is not a situation anyone wants to find themselves in, in our time. However, the only thing that will help you stay calm and collected is actually talking about it, staying informed and having a plan,” says Sergey Tokarev, founder partner at Roosh.
