The Glovo Startup Lab 3.0 program, organized by Glovo together with the Ukrainian Startup Fund with the support of the Ministry of Digital Affairs, gathered 9 best teams out of 35 applicants. The final Demo Day determined the teams that will go for an internship at Glovo headquarters in Barcelona.
On September 4, the final of the Glovo Startup Lab 3.0 program took place in Kyiv, which allowed Ukrainian startups to compete for the opportunity to undergo an internship at Glovo's headquarters in Barcelona.
First place went to startup Mindship, an AI-powered mobile breathing exercise app that analyzes a user's biometric data in real time, helping them quickly improve their emotional and physical well-being.
"We are very happy to take first place at the Glovo Startup Lab 3.0 Demo Day! And to participate in an internship at Glovo's head office in Barcelona as part of Tech Catalyst Week! For us, this is access to one of the fastest growing digital health markets in Europe and mentorship that will help prepare Mindship for scaling in the EU," Anna Chorna, co-founder and CMO of Mindship, told dev.ua.
Second place went to startup Sure. It is an AI system that helps convert customer inquiries into sales and reduces the workload on the support team.
Both teams will travel to Barcelona in October to participate in the Glovo Startup Campus program, where they will be able to present their developments to the European innovation community and potential investors.
Third place and special awards — tickets to the IT Arena conference and networking with the Glovo team — went to the startup b2beings for its SaaS solution Portality, which simplifies the creation of customer portals for B2B businesses.
Glovo Startup Lab is held in Ukraine for the third year in a row and has supported over 20 technology startups during this time. The program provided participants with mentorship, training and funding opportunities, helping them take the next steps in their development. Last year’s participants included Uspacy, a startup developing a CRM system for businesses and continuing to proactively develop in international markets, recently attracting €420,000 in investment.
"The Ukrainian startup ecosystem demonstrates incredible resilience and potential. Despite the challenges of war, our innovators are confidently integrating into the global technology community, creating world-class solutions. Glovo is proud to be able to support such talents, and our Startup Campus in Barcelona will be the next step towards international recognition for the winners. We believe that Ukrainian technology projects are already changing the future today and will certainly become an integral part of the global innovation market," said Maryna Pavlyuk, CEO of Glovo in Ukraine.
