The war in Ukraine has impacted everyone in the country — and in the world. Because of Russia’s invasion, millions of people had to move away, leaving their homes, cities, and work behind.
The budding tech ecosystem of Ukriane has been affected as well. The country’s startups definitely took a blow initially — but have seemingly managed to not only stay afloat, but also to fight back and help their country’s war effort.
Silicon Canals has partnered with the Blockquote Show to present first-hand accounts of Ukrainian startup founders who keep powering through with all their talent, perseverance, and optimism. During and after the live stream, we will be raising funds to help Ukraine in the time of war. Look for the QR code in the corner, scan it with your phone and donate if you can.
In today’s episode, watch a conversation with Yaroslav Azhnyuk, the CEO and co-founder of Petcube. Since 2012, Petcube has been extremely successful on the markets of the US and Europe with its pet monitoring and feeding devices. The company has raised a total of $14 million in venture funding.
Yaroslav has been very active in supporting Ukraine and its tech ecosystem during this war. Among other things, he’s one of the people behind Spend With Ukraine, a project that highlights products created in the country. Join the conversation live to ask your questions!
