Est. 2022 · London
An invite-only community of 500+ Ukrainians building in tech in London — founders, engineers, product leaders, designers and operators. Reputation-led, and small enough that you actually know who’s in the room.
About
The three feed each other — a flywheel. People come for the Vibe, Grow through the community, and the more they grow, the more they give back through Impact.
Monthly meetups, brunches, rooftop networking, hiking trips and festive gatherings. Evenings you leave with new friends, not new business cards.
See the meetups → 02GrowPOV Talks and panels on what moves a tech career — finance, AI, leadership, founding — with guests from Google, Wise, Preply and beyond.
