Startups For Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, the world has changed tremendously as, since then, a war has been started by the Russian aggressor. This is a situation that nobody would have imagined in their worst nightmare. It is happening in Europe where we all believed that a massive war and war crimes would never happen again after World War II.
Hundreds of thousands of people have become refugees.
Together with our startup community across Europe, some investors and Startup Salzburg, we launched the initiative STARTUPS FOR UKRAINE, delivering medical supplies to Lviv, Western Ukraine, and bringing refugees to Austria on our way back.
What Startups For Ukraine is about
Collection of donations
We collected both medical supplies and monetary donations. 100% of the donated money was used for the purchase of medical supplies and the transport.
Drop-off location for medical supplies

Green Tower

Delivery of medical supplies
We regularly drove to the Polish-Ukrainian border with minivans and trucks to deliver the medical supplies to our contact who took them to Lviv, Ukraine.
Medical supply delivery
Cooperation with Palianytsia Charity Initiative and our SEA Circle member Anatolii Maslov who helped to distribute the medical supplies in Lviv, Ukraine.
Support of Ukrainian refugees
On our way back from the Polish-Ukrainian border, we brought refugees to Salzburg, arranged registration and safe homes for them.
Ongoing on-site support
Our team offered ongoing support in Salzburg, e.g. with registration processes, the search for job opportunities, language courses and study programs.
