Mission Possible launches a new acceleration model for startups
Mission Possible announced the launch of the fifth acceleration cohort and introduced a new operational model. The organization aims to become a platform for development and attracting international opportunities for tech founders.
Under the new model, participants will be selected in waves rather than through one large intake, allowing the formation of efficient cohorts with the same level of development. Each wave will undergo a unique program, but within a unified ecosystem of alumni and mentors.
From now on, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis with separate deadlines for each wave. The first wave of Batch 5 is focused on Ukrainian tech startups that are developing a product and preparing for investment. The program will include an intensive in Kyiv and hybrid learning.
Participants will have access to mentoring, investment preparation, Demo Day, and development credits worth $6,000. Mission Possible takes 2.5% equity for participation. The deadline for the first wave is set for September 1, 2026.
Mission Possible was established in 2023 with the support of the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund. In July 2026, the organization formed an advisory board consisting of eight industry leaders. This will be part of a new strategy to build sustainable tech entrepreneurship in Ukraine.
