UKRAINE IS NOT RUSSIA
7
• As in Israel, in Ukraine the local market is too small, while big army of engineers is capable, and is witnessed, to create world class global technology leaders
• AVentures team argues that number of $100M-1B success stories in Ukraine will increase with the development of VC ecosystem
Several $100M+ success stories, dozens of growing
$20-50M+ companies
Success stories – mostly global stories play
(“Israeli” model)
Underdeveloped VCs (first VC funds in 2011,
still only 2 Series A funds)
$10B Yandex and Mail.ru, several $1B success stories
Success stories – both local consumer play and global $1B stories
Developed VC ecosystem, 50+ funds
Large army of high quality software engineers

The largest Ukrainian success stories are global niche plays. The local market is too small, and Ukraine is deploying “Israeli” model –
building global/US IT companies with R&D locally
