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.
Ukraimpulse Ventures is a group of German business angels supporting Ukrainian startups with smart capital. At the same time, Ukraimpulse angels aim to support the Ukrainian business angel culture with their activities. These include capacity building, co-investments and an angel academy, which will launch in 2025. Ukraimpulse was initiated by BACB from Berlin and Gigahertz Ventures from Dresden.
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.
Our founding partner networks
Most of our power comes from our vast network of supporters and co-investors. We are very proud to have gigahertz Ventrues GmbH from Dresden and the Business Angels Club Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. on board as supporters from the very beginning.
Check out our humanitarian aid projects in Ukraine, which we ran with the great support of these networks prior to Ukraimpulse Ventrues:
