    FAQ

    Companies registered in Ukraine or in one of the V4 countries before 2023 with at least one founder with a Ukrainian citizenship.

    The entire program is free. What’s more, the 4 teams selected for the Business Sprint part of the programme will receive a scholarship.

    We expect full dedication from two members of your startup (including a founder/CEO). The bootcamp is an intensive, 3-day event so that we can ensure that we select the most dedicated teams. While the bootcamp requires full-time dedication, the Business Sprint part is 3 weeks long and planned in a way that you will have time to work a little as well. Plus, we’ll recommend who should attend a given workshop from your team, based on the relevance of the topic.

    The whole programme will be in English.

    We are happy to help out with any questions! Just drop us a message at uasuf@designterminal.org.
