The investment volume in Ukraine's venture capital IT industry reached a record high of $265M in 2017, a 231% increase from 2016. Most of the growth came from large growth and secondary deals and a dozen Series A deals. The number of identified deals was 44, down from previous years. Seed rounds declined in number and volume while Series A rounds hit a record high average size of $4.78M. Foreign capital accounted for 96% of the total investment volume, with investors based in the US, UK, and Israel among the most active. Key sectors like software and online services saw significant growth. There were 5 disclosed exits worth $8M in total.
The DealBook is our annual overview of the Ukrainian tech investment industry. This edition comprehensively covers the full year 2023 and the first deals of 2022.
Kreston Ukraine, together with Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA), AVentures, and ISE Corporate Accelerator, is pleased to present the results of the annual Ukraine Deal Review 2021, also covering 3 months of 2022.
In 2021, Ukrainian startups attracted venture capital investments worth USD 779.6 million, 46% more than in 2020. Like in a previous period, Ukrainian Startup Fund (USF) accounted for about half of the deals (47%). Investments attributed to private equity reached 82.8 million USD, and these are only agreements with the disclosed amount.
In 2021, six new players joined the Ukrainian venture capital market. GEEK Ventures, SID Venture Partners, ZAS Ventures, ANCHOR, and PAWA offer Ukrainian startups financing of around USD 0.5 million, along with their experience and expertise. World-renowned companies also did not ignore Ukraine last year: 19 of them opened their R&D centers, offices, and engineering hubs in Ukraine.
In the first quarter of 2022, the development of private technology investment markets did not halt despite the large-scale Russian aggression. In January–March 2022, 11 venture capital deals of USD 11.5 mln, 3 private equity deals of USD 4 mln, and 8 exits of USD 135 mln already took place. International companies went on establishing new R&D centers and offices in Ukraine. In addition, global technology companies, EU countries, and Ukrainian IT communities have offered Ukrainian startups several support programs.

The Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) and the audit and consulting company Kreston Ukraine present the “Ukraine venture capital and private equity markets 2020” annual review, which also includes data for 8 months of 2021.
According to the results of 2020, Ukrainian technology companies and their investors closed 188 deals with investors worth USD 533.5 million. About 50% of the deals are small grants (25 and 50 thousand USD) from the Ukrainian Startup Fund. For 2020—2021, it has invested USD 5.3 million in Ukrainian projects.
Just three years ago, Ukraine did not have a single unicorn among its startups. Nowadays, as many as five of them — Gitlab, Grammarly, Bitfury, People.ai, and Ring — raised USD 1.3 bln funding and dominate the global market.
In this review, we analysed the key market trends, such as “investment focus on software projects”, “increase of foreign investors in the Ukrainian market”, “growing quality of Ukrainian startups and their interest in smart money” for the first time. The key drivers and barriers to market development were identified — the respondents noted that despite the imperfect regulatory framework, the country still has enough private capital to promote the sector.
Generally, all market players are unanimous in their outlooks and are quite optimistic about further market development. According to 81% venture and 67% private equity investors surveyed, all quantitative indicators are likely to grow, and high-tech industries traditionally represent the most promising ones.
Ukrainian investors primarily point to the experience and qualification of the team (according to 94% venture and 17% private equity investors surveyed) and the market potential of the business idea (according to 82% venture and 83% private equity investors surveyed), among the key factors for investment decisions. On the other hand, when choosing an investor, startups consider their industry expertise, investment terms, and ‘smart money’ they can get.
The study results show that Ukrainian companies offer attractive, relevant, and globally competitive solutions and demonstrate sustainability and adaptability in COVID-19. Ukraine is gradually transforming from a talent and idea exporter into a big international venture capital market player.

Deal Book: Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Overview 2022-2023Mind UA
This research covers the period from the beginning of 2022 to the end of the Q1/2023 – five quarters during which Ukraine was engulfed in the flames of war.
The study was conducted by the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) and business media Mind.ua.
Yet, despite predictions, the Ukrainian venture market has shown remarkable resilience and self-renewal capacity in conditions we have never faced before.
The trend is illustrated by the number of investments, which has reached nearly 200 deals. Moreover, their number has almost doubled, if compared with 2021 – the last pre-war year.
The total investment in projects with Ukrainian roots during the war year exceeded $880 million, but the lion’s share consisted of investments in the top five start-ups. This trend has persisted for several years in a row.
The Ukrainian ecosystem has already produced 7 unicorns. However, we see similar potential in another 50 companies. Over 20 years, we have built a very large ecosystem, which gives potential for growing unicorns. And therefore, it’s worth investing in funds focused on Ukraine. 17 funds with a total volume of $1.4 billion have already been fundraising intensively.

SaaS Wars: Europe Awakens. The Accel Euroscape 2016Philippe Botteri
Software is eating the world, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is eating software. But where does Europe stand on the SaaS front? This presentation gives an overview of the SaaS landscape in Europe and Israel and identifies the top 100 most promising SaaS companies in the region.
Accel 2021 Euroscape: On the path to global dominance?Philippe Botteri
The European and Israeli cloud ecosystem is accelerating as never before. Back in 2016, Europe and Israel had only four public companies worth less than $9B combined and local cloud companies had raised just $900M throughout 2015. Today, Europe and Israel have generated 23 public companies worth $231B and private cloud financing reached c. $30B. The $900M of SaaS VC funding in 2015 now represents less than Europe's largest financing round, with Celonis raising $1B in June this year. These are just some of the SaaS milestones Europe and Israel have hit over the last year, so now seems like the right time to as: "are Europe and Israel on the path to global SaaS dominace?" Take a look at the insights in our 2021 Euroscape and see what the data says!
The SaaS sector is undergoing a ‘reset’: on the public side, revenue multiples went down from 17x a year ago to 6x today. On the private side, funding is down 42% in Q3 with similar trends observed in the US and Europe. What does this mean for European and Israeli SaaS companies? In this presentation, we will dive deeper into:
- How should founders think about their company valuation?
- Are public markets overcorrected?
- How are the public market dynamics impacting the private funding market?
- Will we see a flurry of down round for the 120+ Cloud Unicorns created in Europe and Israel over the past few years?
- Which top 100 companies have been selected for the 2022 Accel Euroscape?
There were 87 investment deals with Ukrainian innovative companies in 2016 , which is 32% more than in 2015 - such a data was presented by the Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) in its annual market overview. The overview has gathered information on venture, private equity and angel investment deals - their total volume is accounted in 88 mln. USD in 2016. The amount of investments over the past 5 years growth to 400 mln. At the same time, the volume of investment deals decreased on 33% since 2015 (including 13 undisclosed deals), but still is higher than in 2014 at 125%. The reason is few deals in 2015 amounted in dozens of millions.
Distinguishing feature of the market in 2016 is the prevalence of seed-stage deals. Thereby among all deals 73 were made at the seed-stage with the average amount of ticket over 500K USD. So we can expect that these initially invested companies will attract bigger investments in future.
The average ticket amount (on all stages) has grown up to 1M USD in 2016.

Tracxn Research Ad Tech Landscape, October 2016Tracxn
Investments in the adtech industry are driven by mobile, digital video, cross-screen advertising and programmatic buying targeting specific sectors or audience groups.
Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) in partnership with Deloitte, presented its annual Overview of Ukrainian investment market. Following a dip in 2016, the data for 2017 indicates that the total amount of venture capital investment in Ukrainian IT companies has reached its peak totaling $259 million, tripling compared to the previous year. Although in line with the global trend of shifting investors’ focus from quantity to quality, the number of deals remains at about the same level with 89 deals.
For the first time, the Overview also covers two additional segments on the top of private capital trends: private equity deals and ICO.
2017 was an exceptional year for private equity investments due to a relative rise in activity, compared to the last 3 years, when the average number of deals did not exceed 4. The value of PE deals in Ukraine totals $ 126.7m, and numbers at 14, however, the deals were undisclosed.
Initial Coin Offering (ICO) financing is the new trend in attracting investments by Ukrainian startups. 19 startups succeeded in attracting $160m within ICO in 2017. Moreover, VC funds focused solely on crypto-related businesses emerged, establishing stronger ties between private capital and blockchain. Neuromation ($71M), Dmarket ($19,1M) and Propy marketplace ($15,4M) were the top 3 ICOs from Ukraine in 2017.

19. Unreported deals estimation & methodology
• We estimate that only 60% of Seed, Follow-on, Series A and Series
B were disclosed in 2017. More deals will be announced later in
the year
• Deals included: Internet-related companies with Ukrainian
founders and significant presence in Ukraine
• Deal amount estimation: for deals with the size range, we used a
median figure, for “over X deals” - we used a minimum, for
unconfirmed deals - we relied on our best estimate or used
statistical method for estimation
• Deal sources: startup founders, UVCA and UAngel associations,
VC funds, public information
• Foreign capital: the rounds were marked foreign if the lead or
majority investor is from outside of Ukraine; Ukrainian/Foreign
investors are funds with majority of operations located in Ukraine/
outside of Ukraine respectfully
• Round sizes: we used the information from founders and, if
absent, from Crunchbase to label rounds correctly. In case of
limited information, we used deal’s size to appropriately name the
round (Seed - up to $2M), Series A ($2-5M), Series B ($5-10M),
Growth & Secondary ($10M+)
