Our Mission & Vision:

Ukraine builds back a resilient society and economy during and after the war, with the help of thousands of war veterans as motivated and productive members of the community.

What We Do:

We provide business incubation opportunities and develop entrepreneurship capacities for young veterans of Ukraine, who can no longer serve on the battlefield and are undergoing physical or mental rehabilitation.

How We Do IT:

We train young veterans of Ukraine on various aspects of setting up and running a business, managing finance and personnel, improving processes, conducting PR and communication. We also network young veterans with the established businessmen from Ukraine and abroad, to help pitch new business ideas and raise funding.

How To Help:

If you are a businessman or private individual from anywhere in the World, you can join our community of Partners and share your experience - whether it is about rehabilitation or building a successful business. You will be able to help our Project participants by conducting one or more online sessions with them, participating at our events in Ukraine, or organising a study trip for our Ukrainian friends abroad.

Ivan Tarn, 33

Hi, my name is Ivan. I was born in Ternopil. At the age of 10 my family moved to Ghent, Belgium, where I lived until the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. Having served in the French Foreign legion, I had all the necessary skills to join active service in the Ukrainian Military immediately following the events of February 2022. My active military duty was cut short near Bakhmut after 9 months due to a combat injury whereby I lost my right foot.

Hi, my name is Ruslana Danilkina. I come from Odesa. I went to perform active military duty in the war at the age of 18, aka “Sima”. I lost my left leg on an operational task in the Kherson region, as our car was hit with by adverse firing squad with cluster bomb. Having returned from the hospital with a severed limb, I started actively posting online and surfing social networks. I developed a rather significant online following, including by the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.
