«On the one hand, the war slowed down (but did not stop) the process of attracting investments to the fund. On the other hand, it pushed Leon and me even more to intensify our efforts on it. After the war, the IT entrepreneurship market will need investments and VC expertise more than ever. And we would like hi5 Ventures to be among those who will be the first to restore the Ukrainian ecosystem”, says Krivorchuk.
