Headway Inc. became the first Ukrainian-based company to raise investment from Endeavor Catalyst, a fund known for its early-stage investments in unicorn companies.
The investment was part of an expansion of the Series A round led by Bullhound Capital. Endeavor Catalyst joined the second closing of the round, which took place in January 2026, Headway Inc. said.
Headway Inc announced its first external round in July 2025. It became the largest first investment round of a company with Ukrainian roots since the start of the full-scale invasion, as well as the largest investment of the VI fund Bullhound Capital.
«I first heard about the Endeavor community a month after the company launched and immediately realized that Ukrainian entrepreneurs need Endeavor. Six years later, I am glad that Headway Inc. became the first company with Ukrainian roots in the community and the first investment of Endeavor Catalyst,» commented Anton Pavlovsky, founder and CEO of Headway Inc.
Endeavor Catalyst co-invests exclusively in companies founded by entrepreneurs in the Endeavor community and has a portfolio of 66 companies with a valuation of over $1 billion. The fund is known for its early-stage investments in unicorn companies, and is number 1 in the number of such investments outside the US, China and India markets.
«When a fund with over 60 unicorns in its portfolio invests more than its standard check in a company with Ukrainian roots, it is a signal of the maturity of the market and the company. Such deals lower the barriers for the next Ukrainian entrepreneurs and make the path to raising capital and scaling more predictable,» says Svyatoslav Svyatnenko, Managing Director of Endeavor in Ukraine.
Financial terms of the investment by Bullhound Capital and Endeavor Catalyst are not being disclosed.
Recall that Headway Inc CEO Anton Pavlovsky stated that he is potentially considering 2029 as the time for the company to go public.
