Testimonials

what our mentors and alumni say — says it all

I enjoyed the offline nature of the programme and I think that it helps build relationships that will outlast the companies themselves. This is exactly the environment that is required for new entrepreneurs to grow.

Oleg Zaremba

CTO and co-founder at AiSDR

In Ukraine, a startup accelerator has appeared that one can truly be proud of — it is Mission Possible. Over the past 6 months, I've had the opportunity to closely follow the programme, interact with the team, and talk with the founders of the first batch companies. Now, there's a stepping stone for entrepreneurs to stand on before aiming to get into YC or secure large rounds from renowned investors.

Yaroslav Azhnyuk

Founder and CEO at TheFourthLaw.ai, Co-founder of Petcube

In Ukraine, there is still a lack of experience sharing among startup founders. I became a mentor in Mission Possible to promote knowledge exchange among entrepreneurs, fostering a powerful community where everyone can get support and share experiences with young founders. This is crucial for the whole startup scene.

Roman Mogylnyi

Co-founder Reface

Mission Possible is effectively filling a critical gap in supporting innovation in Ukraine during the most challenging times and unveiling to the world the unbreakable Ukrainian entrepreneurial tech talent.

Eveline Buchatskiy

Managing Partner at D3 Defense Tech Fund

I think that Mission Possible is definitely the best program for early stage startups in Ukraine. Mission Possible has very cool connections with the best Ukrainian startup founders. So you can learn from fuck-ups from other founders and actually be smarter in building your own startup.

Alyona Mysko

CEO & Founder at Fuelfinance

I do not consider myself lucky, but when I was applying to Batch I, I made my own luck, and so can you. But only apply to Batch II if you are willing to change your life, as many fellow founders have noted the experience to be transformational.

Ruslan Gazanfarov

Founder & CEO at eventmate

Mission Possible is not a startup school. No one teaches anyone anything here. It is more of an environment for early-stage startup founders where they can grow faster. Or they might not grow at all – it all depends on the founders themselves and their ability to take advantage of opportunities.

Yaroslav Kaplan

Founder & CEO at FlexiPay

Mission Possible will change your life. Be willing to give as much as to take and you will be surprised how far it can bring you.

Bohdan Dreihaupt

Founder & CEO at Crosscheck
