果冻APP has signed a memorandum with Charles K. Whitehead, co-founder of the Ukraine Phoenix Venture Capital Fund, which provides for cooperation with e艒 Business Incubators, a new incubation program for the Ukrainian business ecosystem with mentoring support for startups.
At the meeting with Yurii Bobalo, Rector of 果冻APP, Ivan Demydov, Vice-Rector for Scientific Research, and Nazarii Podolchak, Director of Tech StartUp School, they discussed the implementation of an intensive training program on creating and running a successful business.
Charles K. Whitehead is convinced that Ukraine鈥檚 scientific achievements are widely recognized around the world, and Ukrainian developers are very successful in many global high-tech companies. Five tech start-ups from Ukraine have already exceeded a business valuation of $1 billion. However, many Ukrainian scientists and developers still doubt that these success stories apply to them.
The first phase of the program, in accordance with the signed Memorandum of Understanding, involves the of scientists and students in a program to commercialize the developments of Ukrainian universities. The program aims to bring Ukrainian innovations to global technology markets to make Ukrainian success in this area more widespread.
芦Our goal is to create innovative businesses in Ukraine based on Ukrainian research and development. We want the value (and technology) to remain Ukrainian.
e艒 Business Incubators was founded in 2019. To date, more than 140 startups have completed the program with an overall return on investment (XIRR) of over 40%. Alumni of this program have achieved top results at more than 20 prestigious global technology exhibitions and investment forums.
If you have an idea or a scientific and technological development that you would like to build a business on by participating in the e艒 incubation program, we invite you to attend an introductory lecture by Charles K. Whitehead, the founder of e艒 Business Incubators. He is a prominent American investment banker who has held senior positions at Citibank and Salomon Brothers, and is one of the founders of the Cornell Tech program (a world-renowned academic technology hub in New York), as well as a professor at Cornell University禄, e艒 Business Incubators said.
