Scoping Mission '23 Travel Blog #1 - Thank you Lviv! дякую Львів!  

About our Scoping Mission '23

After completing our humanitarian aid projects Angels4Ukraine with BACB e.V. and "Busloads of Hope" with gigahertz ventures  we decided to travel Ukraine in Mai and June 2023, to figure out, what can be done next. This is our story about how Ukraimpulse Ventures started.

Thank you Lviv! дякую Львів!

The first stop of our BACB Scoping Mission with our Business Angels Club Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. (BACB) members Michael Hübner and Stefan Holger Schandera (Gigahertz Ventures GmbH) in Ukraine was the City of Lviv.

We had three extremely interesting and exciting days where we gathered a lot of insights and perspective on the Lviv startup ecosystem and met with many very interesting and heartwarmingly open people - Thanks for being such great hosts!

First we visited the „Innovation Spring“ at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv with plenty of great startup pitches from different student teams.

Special thanks to Ihor Katernyak for the invitation and to Vladyslav Podenko - founder of Lobo - for showing us around the city and some great views from the rooftop bars of the city. 🍷🍻👌🏻

Our next stop was at StartupDepot Incubator&Coworking run by Ivan Dmytrasevych 🇺🇦 . Thank you so much for arranging the on-site meetings with Ukrainian serial entrepreneur and Business Angel Anton Skrypnyk and Dmytro Horilyk - founder of DrugCards - who gave us an in-depth view into the ecosystem from the founders perspective. 🚀

Next we visited UCU Business School (LvBS) and had a very insightful lunch and a tour around the campus with Ivan Petrenko. It was amazing to see, how modern, innovative and entrepreneurial a university- which is associated with the catholic church - can be run. Great work on starting the IdeaLab and the Angel One Investment Fund! 💸 💪🏻

Last but not least, we met again with Ivan Dmytrasevych to talk about his second project Lviv Tech Angels. 😇

We were joined by Andrew Zinchuk from ZAS Ventures who is currently raising a VC Fund to invest into Early Stage Startups with resilient Ukrainian Founders! ✊

Thanks to you all for for your time, insights & perspectives and the very warm welcome to Ukraine! ❤️

Our next stop will be Kyiv - meeting with the Ukrainian Startup Fund and other ecosystem stakeholders. So excited to learn more about the Ecosystem here! 👀
