Ukrainian startups are demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of the horrific war and its impact on Ukraine's economy. Founders and their teams are developing new technologies to help rebuild the country and create a better future. At Google, we know the power of startups to drive recovery and growth, we stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and are committed to supporting these efforts.

In June, we announced the first batch of 2024 recipients of the Google for Startups Ukraine Support Fund. Managed by 1991, the first and largest startup accelerator in Ukraine, the $10 million fund provides additional equity-free cash awards along with Google support, mentorship and product expertise to Ukrainian-founded tech companies. Today, we are proud to announce the latest 24 recipients of the program in Lviv, Ukraine.
