Ukrainian startup Jetbeep, a finalist of the IT Arena Startup Competition 2023, has won the national selection of Startup World Cup Ukraine 2026. The team will now compete in the global finals for a chance to secure a $1 million investment from leading venture capital funds.

At IT Arena 2023, the team presented its autonomous parcel locker solution for postal operators, logistics companies, and retailers on the stage of the Lviv National Opera. The startup secured third place in the competition and received a $5,000 prize. Three years after taking third place at the IT Arena Startup Competition, Jetbeep is now preparing to compete on one of the world’s biggest startup stages. 

The Ukrainian edition of Startup World Cup Ukraine 2026 took place on May 28 and was organized by EIT Community Hub Ukraine. Nine Ukrainian startups competed in the finals, with Jetbeep taking first place. The team will now travel to Silicon Valley to face the winners of national selections from more than 60 countries worldwide.

Startup World Cup is one of the world’s largest startup competitions, organized by Pegasus Tech Ventures. Each year, thousands of startups from dozens of countries participate in the competition. Winners of regional rounds earn the opportunity to pitch their companies at the global finals in the United States and compete for a $1 million investment prize.
