Raising Money During the War

Ukraine’s investment market is in deep stagnation. Outside of defense tech, almost no capital is moving, and for civilian startups raising money has become close to impossible. What can founders do in such a market?

No sugarcoating — just the brutal truth about capital, priorities, and survival in wartime Ukraine.
