Spotlighting Ukraine's Innovators
Ukrainian Startups Wall of Fame was launched by LIFT99 Kyiv Hub to celebrate and recognize the most impactful, innovative, and fast-growing startups in Ukraine. It shines a spotlight on Ukrainian-founded companies that are shaping industries globally while contributing to the growth of the local startup ecosystem. By showcasing their achievements, Wall of Fame inspires future entrepreneurs and reinforces Ukraine’s reputation as a global hub for tech innovation.
The Grand Launch of the Ukrainian Startups Wall of Fame (2019)
Journey
LIFT99 Kyiv Hub announced 12 Ukrainian startups as potential candidates for the inaugural Wall of Fame. Over several months, with input from founders, investors, and ecosystem builders, the list was expanded and refined to 15 startups.
The official Grand Launch of the Ukrainian Startups Wall of Fame took place at LIFT99 Kyiv Hub in Kyiv. The event celebrated the achievements of the first 15 startups and marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Ukrainian startup ecosystem.
On the first anniversary of the Wall of Fame, six new startups were added, bringing the total to 21. The selection criteria were updated to emphasize transparency, a significant Ukrainian presence (at least 40% of the team in Ukraine), and a minimum of $2M annual revenue and/or $5M+ in funding.
Our Mission
Wall of Fame is more than just a recognition platform—it’s a movement to foster a value-driven startup ecosystem in Ukraine. By celebrating success stories, we aim to inspire the next generation of Ukrainian entrepreneurs, highlight Ukraine’s potential as a global leader in tech and innovation, and encourage startups to give back to the community through mentorship, funding, and knowledge sharing.
We have highlighted 32 great startups as of now.
And we strive for more.
That is why we created Ukrainian Startups Wall of Fame application form.
