When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th, the lives of Stacy Pavlyshyna and Roman Sevast changed from startup founders to survival coordinators. Headquartered in Kyiv, the founders of Awesomic (YC S21), share their experience of securing their safety and evacuating their team members from across Ukraine under the dangers of war and missile attacks—all while continuing to build and scale their startup.
The following organizations helping Ukraine need your ongoing support:
Nova Ukraine (https://novaukraine.org/donate/)
Razom for Ukraine (https://www.razomforukraine.org/donate/)
Come Back Alive (https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/donate)
