  21. Briefly: Three Days on One Slide

  22. Start-up Picnic | Participants’ Feedback: “I’ve set the network of talented new friends” “What have you got from Start-up Picnic?” “I take away enormous change inside (you were my catalyst)” “I’ve got inspiration to start my own business” “I realized there were wonderful people in Ukraine who’re able to push economics and improve life in this country.” “I’ve got stronger faith in myself” I got support of advanced, creative entrepreneurial people of Kyiv (Ukraine) “Now I envision my future and see greater responsibility for my actions today”

  23. Start-up Picnic | Hub Kyiv Team: Olga Romanyuk: To hold the Start-up Picnic was a tremendous inspiration for ourselves - we're on the right path! I hope we properly delivered the idea of "living value-based business" to those, who were truly in search of it. And we will surely see each other in the future again! Yuliya Filippovska: We were totally inspired to make something new, which hadn’t been done before. It made all the difference, and it was a big challenge. It was a good chance to learn together and get entrepreneurial experience when you try to sell the value of your idea to your future participants for 120 USD before the event, when it’s only in your imagination. This is the beautiful load that entrepreneurs carry when they bring in innovations. And it was fun!

  24. Start-up Picnic | Hub Kyiv Team (Cont.): Anna Smyrnova: Start-up Picnic was the first such experience for Hub Kyiv in realization of the Hub idea in Ukraine. We really wished that these three days help entrepreneurs realize their potential and feel support in the implementation of their ideas and pursuits, We tried to share with you our experience, ideas and inspiration but it appeared that we got great inspiration and ideas from you that we are really grateful for. Owing to the Picnic we got new supply of energy to realize our ideas and we really hope to have a chance to share our progress with you. Viktoriya Dzyuba: What amazed me about the Hub-Kyiv's Start-Up Picnic was how the efforts of many people, greatly dispersed geographically, culminated in the event that benefited a multitude of experienced and would-be entrepreneurs in Ukraine. And all of this on a shoe-string budget! It is possible to work on enthusiasm then!
