Ukrainian-German Impulse Angel Investment 
(early-stage enterprises) in Ukrainian Resilience 
and Recovery 

Impulse Investment with leverage

Ukraimpulse helps Ukrainian startups to secure initial funding. We invest tickets of 10.000 - 50.000€ initially as our "Impulse Investment". With our vast network of trusted co-investors we are able to leverage up to €200k additionally for Ukrainian startups.

Collaboration with Ukrainian business angels

There is a lot German and other business angels can learn from their Ukrainian peers - and vice versa. Ukraimpulse is dedicated to build bridges between angels and startups for exploring collaboration potentials.

Get investment-ready for the German and European market

We have a broad network with German and European industry leaders from Hardware & IoT, digital Health & MedTech, EdTech & GovTech. We support our startups with market insights and introductions to potential customers. 

How can Business Angels help Ukraine?

In 2023 we travelled to Lviv, Kyiv, Odessa and Kharkiv and met with 40+ stakeholders, to find out, what the early-stage startup ecosystem in Ukraine really needs right now.

We've summarized our key findings in our report "Business Angels and Reconstructing Ukraine", which describes the current situation and gives an outlook on the potentials Ukraine has to offer - today and in the future.

About our Mission

Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, we strongly believe that investing in Ukraine's innovations not only is a sustainable aid for recovery (and quality jobs in Ukraine) but the nation's resilience and untapped potentials present unique opportunities for substantial returns.

To validate our thesis, we travelled to Ukraine and met 40+ stakeholders of the early-stage startup ecosystem on multiple trips to Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv in 2023. Our thesis held up (you can discover our findings in our report on "Business Angels and Reconstructing Ukraine").

We therefore initiated Ukraimpulse, a European business angel micro-fund, focusing on investments in pre-seed and seed-stage startups in Ukraine, supporting them not only with capital, but also actively contribute with our know-how and network.

Our expertise is derived from decades of collective experience as entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and angel investors. We cumulated many years of experience doing business in Eastern Europe and especially Ukraine and have been on the ground in Ukraine with our humanitarian projects multiple times in the past years. We believe now is the time to shift from aid to recovery, so instead of providing aid, we provide what we're best at: Angel Investing.

Ukraimpulse Deep Dive #1: Smart Water Ukraine (Berlin, 10 June 2024)

Sustainable and innovative water management is increasingly recognized as a foundational element in addressing climate change and building resilience. In the context of Ukraine's defense and recovery, innovative and progressive solutions for utility and water management are gaining even greater momentum.

Since 2022, Ukrainian infrastructure has been subjected to severe attacks. The supply of water and drinking water to the population and industry in contested and destroyed areas plays a vital role in sustaining life. The situation requires innovative solutions as well as international support.

In the wider context of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 in Berlin, Ukraimpulse Deep Dive #1: Smart Water Ukraine brought together Ukrainian and German experts and practitioners in the field of Smart Water to discuss development and collaboration potentials.
