where capital meets opportunity
At Oniks, we believe that the future of Ukraine lies in the hands of its entrepreneurs. That’s why we created a platform dedicated to fueling the brightest Ukrainian minds with European funding.
Our mission is simple: to empower startups that drive innovation, create opportunities, and strengthen the Ukrainian economy.
By linking founders with European investors, we turn ideas into ventures that not only grow businesses but also contribute to the social and economic resilience of Ukraine. Ukrainian founders have ideas with the power to change industries. European investors are seeking meaningful opportunities. Oniks exists to bridge this gap — providing startups with access to capital, and investors with a way to support innovation that makes a difference. We are guided by four values: transparency, opportunity, impact, and innovation. Every feature we build, every connection we enable, is rooted in these principles.
Oniks is more than just a platform — it's a mission.
Each startup we support is more than a business; it's a step toward Ukraine's recovery and long-term strength. By connecting visionary founders with the right investors, we are not only fueling innovation but also rebuilding the economic and social fabric of the country. Every partnership formed on Oniks contributes to resilience, opportunity, and the future of a thriving Ukraine.Today, we are building a trusted bridge between Ukrainian startups and European investors. Tomorrow, we aim to expand our reach and services to create even more opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors across borders.
