SID Venture Partners is proud to be recognized among the most active investors in the Ukrainian startup ecosystem by Forbes Ukraine, and also give a sneak peek of our ambitious future plans. Happy to see the rebound in the overall deal count as well, as more and more funds committing to grow the next wave of Ukrainian unicorns.

🏆 We are excited to support YEP Accelerator program ahead of their Demo Day on July, 17!

YEP is one of the most robust incubator programs that helps Ukrainian startups grow. Besides working directly with the country's best universities since 2016, it offers an acceleration program with a variety of benefits to early-stage startups, including extensive mentorship, networking and fundraising opportunities. Over 500 startups have already benefited from YEP's support, boosting Ukraine's tech ecosystem.  

SID Venture Partners is a proud partner of YEP Accelerator and is happy to back the alums—our portfolio company, INPUT SOFT, has previously graduated from there. Some of our founders also participate as Mentors now, helping the new generation of Ukrainian entrepreneurs build the future.

For this Demo Day, two of our General Partners — Anton Vaisburd and Kirill Kirikov — will join the jury board, selecting the best ideas. The winner will take home a $25K non-dilutive investment and a chance to pitch at TechChill Riga!

Looking forward to seeing the pitches and innovations that will emerge from this batch!

As TNW conference is wrapping up, time to recap our contribution — SID Venture Partners Managing General Partner Dmytro Vartanian delivered an insightful conversation with Reface Co-CEO Anton Volovyk on navigating crises and uncertain environments.

Some excellent points from the chat:

📌 “Venture funds are much like startups: they both need to go through fundraising, operational and exit stages, all affected by global economic environments and industry turbulence” 

📌 “Culture and autonomy matter — whether you build a company or invest in startups, talented people with a sense of ownership make the difference”

🇺🇦 Both Dmytro and Anton have also remarked on Ukraine’s resilience and its future prospect from the stage. We are proud to be the most active early-stage investor in the ecosystem and see it growing!

Thanks, TNW, for hosting this awesome conversation!
