Accelerators should not only teach but also invest in startups.
This was emphasized by Ivan Petrenko, Executive Director of CfE Accelerator and Managing Partner of Angel One Fund, during the panel discussion “Synergy between the state and business: how to achieve big goals together” at IT Arena in Lviv.
Here are some more takeaways from the discussion:
1) A clear structure is crucial in any process.
2) Students who run startups have a unique advantage – they can freely test their ideas without time constraints.
3) We need to create a solid foundation for startups to grow. War creates challenges, but it also stimulates innovation.
We thank the speakers Oleksandr Bornyakov, Taras Kytsmey, Vadym Hrusha, Ihor Markevych, and moderator Natalia Denikeieva for a productive and informative conversation.
IT Arena was also attended by the Fund’s team consisting of Valeriia Fadieienko, Senior Business Analyst at Angel One Fund, and Marta Znak, Head of PR and Marketing at Angel One Fund.
