Tereza Popil, CEO and co-founder

iBeaty

Being a female founder is still a tough job as people still have many stereotypes. Hopefully, the times are changing for us. There are more of us at the helm of companies, more funding being given to women-led startups, and more new-age companies addressing healthcare, beauty, nutrition, and wellness, and needs specific to women. I am building an ecosystem for beauty and women. Woman for women is our motto.

Nataliya Naida, Founder and CEO

Framiore

I made the right choice in establishing Framiore - just as the people who supply us materials make the right choice by making them sustainable, and my colleagues made the right choice in joining our team. When you wear Framiore clothes, you choose that helps the planet and humankind. The brand must cover your need to find reasonable solutions, and our things are equal to the right choice. 

Olia Bilozir, Founder and CEO

Muscreators

I have realized over time that all of us have inherent biases and sometimes women may face more prejudices compared to their male counterparts, but it is important to call them out. I often advise women on the importance of being assertive in any professional situation. One's perception of one's strength can make a huge difference in how others perceive you.

Anna Yudenko, Co-founder and COO

Advin

I am truly lucky to have my partner as a co-founder of our startup Advin, smart shelf. We are both dedicated to our business 24/7. Strangely there are still some weird people who prefer to talk to my partner Roman, however, the world is changing and I believe that women entrepreneurs will thrive.

4ComfortShoes

I am an experienced CTO and project lead with 20+ years of experience in multi-million agri-holding with 30000 employees. Hilariously, sometimes when I speak with new people they see me as a blond lady because it is easier to see the hair than to evaluate expertise. But eventually, that it is their problem.

Katerina Konaschuk, CEO

BIOC

Being a CEO in a men's world is still a challenge. I do cope with that role. A comfort zone is a nice place, but nothing grows there. Take the leap today and start your business. I believe in BioTech and the Ecological future, and the main mission of BIOC- is clean biopolymer production. So, every day we build a better future.

Iva Kozlovskaya & Oksana Zabolotna, Partners

Symtomatical

We know how important women-partnerships are. Apart from we are founders of the startup Symptomac we are also partners in Women in Tech Ukraine NGO. The Tech industry is still perceived as a men's world, however, we are keen to change that. 

Anna Morozova, CEO

Habits Calendar

I am an MBA-holder, serial entrepreneur, and CEO with 20 years of successful project track including Government roles, however, I still face difficulties and stereotypes when it comes to fundraising or leading a big business. It is great that there are such dedicated to women programs as ISE Accelerator.

Olga Zurcheznko, Founder and CEO 

MoreFilmFun

Running a startup in cartoon and movie production is traditionally a male path. But who cares? I decided to go that way and we thrive and we are a great game changer in Entertainment Tech. MoreFilmFun is present in Kyiv, Warsaw, Los Angeles, and of course in Odesa. And this is just a start.
