Ukrainian tech startups showcase potential at London roadshow

By Bozhena Sheremeta / August 3, 2015

As Ukraine’s technology startups struggle to connect with Silicon Valley investors, their fellow countrymen in London are trying to open doors in the U.K. investor community. To get the ball rolling, Ukrainians Serhiy Burnus and Oleksiy Kolchanov organized the Ukrainian Startups Roadshow at three London locations on July 23-25.

Taking place at Bloomberg headquarters, Google Campus, and Deloitte Digital Studio, 10 early-stage technology startups from Ukraine presented their products to an audience of almost 250 business people and investors.
