Startups live in ongoing turbulence and uncertainty. Surviving crisis after crisis is part of the entrepreneur's journey. But the war in Ukraine also created a human crisis well beyond what any of us expected. Suddenly at Startup Wise Guys we found ourselves calling our 46 Ukrainian portfolio companies and asking them if they were alive. Bogdan was right before living the startup dream. Having raised a pre-seed round, growing their MRR nicely and 5 Leading Ukrainian retailers as customers. Suddenly he found himself and his company NeoCurrent with nothing. It took courage and drive, to move to the UK and started rebuilding the startup. How do you deal with that? You need to think, this is not the end, it is a new beginning.
