Beyond Military Tech: Emerging Trends In Ukraine'S Early-Stage Startup Scene For Investors To Look After

More than a year into the war, many European and global investors are still considering how and where they can support the Ukrainian startup ecosystem. Much progress has been made, with various grant programs launched by governments and private entities, as well as special support programs for Ukrainian entrepreneurs.Today, we can already see the results of these efforts, but it would be nothing without the incredible resilience of the Ukrainians themselves. They continue to create amazing things, even under fire or in the face of blackouts. Over the past year, our team has encountered a significant number of such talents. Some of them have relocated, but the majority have kept at least a part of their operations or team in Ukraine. Most Ukrainian startups (and all of the Startup Wise Guys portfolio) operate globally, serving foreign customers as a chance to survive a challenging situation in the country.While we should undoubtedly support Ukrainian businesses passing through the crucible of war, we must also consider how to encourage the emergence and establishment of new early-stage startups to avoid a "demographic gap" in the ecosystem
