Ukraine startups

example -- Growth Channel was launched in Ukraine, founder recently emigrated, is sending all revenue from next two weeks back to help. Definitely worth a look if your team needs better marketing. re: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/up...

It's great that you decided to create a list of Ukrainian startups. These people really need support. The situation is awful there.

What else have you done since planning your launch? If you haven't already, your assets need to be done soon. Get all of your details finalized and ready to go. If you haven't tested your website to make sure it can take the load of the traffic increases, now is a good time. If you can, I would start reaching out to your mailing list/audience of current users to see who is already on PH. It's a little too close to get them to sign up for accounts to have their votes count. Do the same with partners and those within your network. We also used an in-app survey on the day of the launch to encourage people to engage. We haven't seen a high return in engaging with social media communities (FB, Reddit, Slack). FB and Reddit in particular had little - if any - return on the day of the launch, and the Slack groups weren't much better. If you haven't joined any of those groups by now, good luck. Some of those groups can take months to get in because they aren't actively moderated. Plan for coverage throughout the launch day. I like to have a developer on call at all times in case something happens. We split the shifts to respond to feedback among the team, and it worked well. Re: Super Mario Bros

Yeah, the situation in Ukraine is really tough, especially in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions. What really impresses me is that Ukrainians do their best not only to save their cities but also to develop them. I've recently come across the algorytm project https://algorytm.ngo/en Its aim is to turn Lutsk (one of the Ukrainian cities) into a local creative economy and IT hub of Ukraine. I should say, it looks promising. I read that there are many good IT specialists in Ukraine but I didn't expect they have so many interesting innovating ideas.
