About us
Risk for Good
Just two weeks after the invasion, we were already on the ground in Ukraine with humanitarian projects. In 2023 this evolved into Ukraimpulse—today ua.ventures.
We are German business angels and entrepreneurs backing Ukrainian start-ups, bridging them with Europe, and showing that true innovation and resilience grow from entrepreneurial and civil society initiative—flanked, not driven, by politics.
We believe in the agility and innovative power of Ukrainians—and the unique investment opportunities arising from it.
Talk is cheap. Let’s do it!
