“This is a support network,” said Sviatoslav Sviatnenko, Managing Director of Endeavor in Ukraine. “Whether it’s preparing for an IPO or M&A, accessing high-quality business education, expansion, or roadshows with top investors – the community provides support for everything.”
The press release reads that Headway is the first company to join Endeavor through its Ukrainian office. Sviatnenko noted that dozens of Ukrainian founders are currently shortlisted, with several already in the selection stage. “And each year, among the selected, there have to be at least three companies with Ukrainian roots. It’s my mission,” he added.
