As a reminder, "Brave" is a charitable project with the mission to promote the development of small businesses in Ukraine and engage veterans, military family members, and internally displaced persons in entrepreneurship. Participants are taught how to create business plans and attract investments, and the authors of the best ideas receive grants of up to 70,000 UAH.

The project was initiated by "Astarta-Kyiv" and supported by partners: Raiffeisen Bank, Vodafone Ukraine, the "Believe in Yourself" Foundation, and the "Light of Hope" NGO.
