Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund allocates equity-free cash awards and Google support to help Ukraine-based startups maintain and grow their businesses, strengthen their community, and build a foundation for post-war economic recovery.
Ukraine has long boasted a strong and vibrant startup community. However, Ukraine’s economy and its businesses are currently facing significant challenges. Startups often work across borders with staff in both Ukraine and neighboring countries to ensure that their businesses maintain liquidity, continue operations, and incentivize further investment. It is believed that these efforts should be supported in any way possible.
After the initial $5 million fund allocated throughout 2022, a new fund of $10 million has been announced for 2024 and 2025. Like the first fund, selected Ukraine-based startups will be announced on a rolling basis and will receive up to $100,000 in non-dilutive funding, along with ongoing Google mentorship, product support, and up to $350,000 in Cloud credits. This hands-on support is designed to help Ukrainian entrepreneurs maintain and grow their businesses and build a foundation for post-war economic recovery. Applications will open later this spring.
