Demonstrating the unyielding momentum of Ukraine’s technology sector, Kyiv-based Uspacy has secured €420,000 in a pre-seed funding round to scale its all-in-one digital workspace for small and medium-sized businesses. The round, which values the company at €5 million, was led by Estonian accelerator Startup Wise Guys, signaling strong European investor confidence in Ukrainian-led innovation.
The capital is set to accelerate product development and drive expansion into Poland and its native Ukrainian market. Uspacy is on a mission to declutter the digital chaos for SMBs, offering a centralized platform that replaces a patchwork of disparate tools.
According to co-founder and CEO Dmytro Suslov, the platform is designed for businesses that have outgrown basic tools but find global enterprise solutions too complex or ill-suited for local market dynamics. “We are building for teams that crave order, transparency, and efficiency”, Suslov explained. “We believe we can offer more value than one-size-fits-all products by being deeply attuned to the needs of local businesses”.
This vision of providing a tailored, streamlined experience is already gaining high-profile endorsements. Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, recognized Uspacy as a standout winner in a joint initiative with Glovo, which resulted in a grant and an internship at the delivery giant’s Barcelona headquarters. “We support young Ukrainian companies in their early stages”, Fedorov noted, “and they are already actively attracting funds from venture capital”.
The €250,000 lead investment from Startup Wise Guys was complemented by capital from several Ukrainian angel investors. This private backing is further magnified by over €170,000 in non-dilutive funding from a host of prestigious programs, including Google for Startups, Seeds of Bravery, and the Ukrainian Startup Fund. This groundswell of support from both the private and public sectors paints a picture of a company with significant momentum.
Perhaps most remarkably, Uspacy’s journey is a testament to the tenacity of its founding team. The company was established in Kyiv in April 2022—a period of intense uncertainty for the nation—by veterans of the business software industry. As an early resident of the Diia.City program, they strategically bootstrapped the company, launching their first product version in early 2023 after validating market need. This deliberate, self-funded start allowed them to approach their first funding round from a position of proven strength.
With fresh capital and a battle-tested strategy, Uspacy is now positioned not only to capture a significant share of the SMB market but also to stand as another powerful example of Ukraine’s thriving digital economy.
