During this time, participants will test themselves as co-founders, create an MVP, present it at the final pitch, and be able to receive an investment from CLUST or a cash prize of $10,000.

Let us remind you that last year, the first smart shelter in Ukraine, CLUST Space, was opened in the basement of the KPI library, which has a shower, cafe, and beds.
The project began with an idea voiced by Ruslan Timofeev, founder and CEO of venture builder CLUST, during the Sikorsky Challenge. The entrepreneur proposed creating a safe space where one could work, study, and spend time without being interrupted by air traffic alerts.
A dev.ua journalist had the opportunity to visit the new space, see everything with her own eyes, find out why the shelter is smart and how long people can hide there if a missile hits the building.
