What startups do investors never back? Valeriia Fadieienko, Principal at Angel One Fund, answered this question during the Reverse Pitching panel “What I Never Invest In” at RESTART 2025, one of the largest technology and investment events in Ukraine.
Together with representatives of ZAS Ventures, u.ventures, Geek Ventures, Vesna Capital, and Horizon Capital, she shared insights on how investors actually evaluate founders and deals that become successful. More about the discussion is available here.
In addition, Valeriia moderated the panel “Investing in Security: How Venture, Crowdfunding and Business Angels Support Defense Tech”. During the discussion, the speakers explored how Ukrainian investors are shaping the resilience economy and supporting the development of defense technologies.
