What Ukrainian Hub does

Ukrainian Hub is a non-profit civic organization (ГО "Український хаб") founded in 2020 on the initiative of the Ukrainian-American Coordinating Council (UACC). Its mission is to support Ukrainian entrepreneurs and startups with access to global startup ecosystems, providing training, mentorship, and connections to international accelerators, incubators, and venture funds. The organization operates regional hubs in Kyiv (Ukraine, headquarters), Lisbon (Portugal, established 2022 after Russia's full-scale invasion), and Georgetown, Texas (USA, launched February 2024), with a particular focus on displaced Ukrainian entrepreneurs and women's leadership.

The organization's product portfolio centers on three core platforms: a Mentorship Platform connecting Ukrainian founders with 20+ international expert mentors (free first consultation, paid follow-ups), a Partnership Platform offering exclusive deals from coworking spaces, accelerators, IT companies, and universities, and a Knowledge Base of educational webinars on topics ranging from Portugal tax systems to pitch training. Programmatic offerings include the Amarelo Azul business camp for displaced Ukrainian women in Portugal (three iterations completed), the Female Leadership Program, the WISE international event, and the organization of Ukrainian Pavilions at Web Summit conferences in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro.

The revenue model is donation-and-grant based, not commercial. Programs are delivered free or near-free to qualifying participants; revenue derives from individual donations (suggested tiers $50/$100/$500), grants (13 grant-funded projects disclosed), and corporate/foundation partnerships (Microsoft, Millennium BCP Foundation, SIC Esperança, CRDF Global, 500 Startups, Women's Startup Lab). Myriad USA functions as a fiscal sponsor for US-based donations under 501(c)(3) status. Cumulative reported outcomes include 400+ new businesses launched by participants and 300+ trained program participants, with a small core team of 1-10 employees and additional regional leads in each hub.
