Helping Ukrainian entrepreneurs to leverage a network of people willing to help out, so they can keep their business afloat in these troubled times. They can publish a request to get visibility from global entrepreneurs, who can also add an offer to help.

Hey PH, 👋 Ben here from UAFounders. We've been working on UAFounders.org for the past few weeks, and we're thrilled to launch on Product Hunt today! About us My friend Kevin and I were looking for a way to help the Ukrainian people during this trying time. Inspired by other websites helping refuges find shelter or organise humanitarian help, we thought out a niche where there was still a need and where we could apply our expertise. Kevin's connections with the tech and entrepreneurial scene in Ukraine told him of the difficulties startup founders were facing with keeping the business alive, the team safe and the company up and running. That's how we came to build UAFounders.org. What is it about? UAFounders.org is a two sided help marketplace. UA startups can post requests about challenges like fundraising, finding new markets, hiring. Us the community, founders, businesses, can answer those or post offers on specific subjects. Who is it for? The idea is to focus on Startups from Ukraine right now. If you are directly impacted by the war and could use a hand with anything other founders can help you with, please post your request. 🙌 If you are a founder or business and would like to dedicate a few hours of your time helping out, sharing your knowledge and expertise pro-bono, join us! 🙏 What's next? When the war finally ends 👊, UAFounders will concentrate on the rebuilding effort. The platform will add a matchmaking part, for investors willing to invest in UA Startups and help the economy of the country recover. 🚀 We are also looking for volunteers to help with building the website (React, Node, MongoDB), for marketing & PR, fundraiser and many other positions! Join us! --- Special thanks to @baptiste_ncls for hunting us!
