Our CEO and co-founder, Valery Krasovsky, recently joined a crucial Ukrainian business delegation in Washington, D.C., together with Olga Ksonzenko, GR Director at Sigma Software Group.

During the trip, Valery and Olga advocated for significant initiatives, including:
- Establishing funds for investing in Ukrainian VC funds to boost pre-seed and seed-stage investments in IT product companies.
- Enhancing opportunities for Ukraine's professional IT services, which currently generate around $7 billion annually.
- Participating in the rebuilding of Ukraine, with significant investment already committed.

Key updates from the visit:
- Bank of America will be a consultant of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
- NASDAQ is waiving fees for Ukrainian companies going public, aiding in establishing a robust stock market presence.
- The launch of a new fund supporting Ukrainian science with an initial $20 million.
