Call for help to Ukrainian Entrepreneurs and Startups at SVE Demo April
Hello fellow entrepreneurs,
SVE is hosting Silicon Valley’s oldest and largest startup pitch event, the SVE Demo on April 7th. But this time around, our community would like to extend our support to our fellow Ukrainian entrepreneurs and startups!
