Some of you have asked whether VIR.GROUP only works for the Ukrainian market. Here is what our Matomo analytics shows.
Visitors come from all over the world, not from a single region. The app is published in 223 countries and territories, and the map in the screenshot reflects that.
One detail I find interesting: our app was removed from the Chinese App Store, yet we still see steady growth in users from China. Most likely this is because the app is also available on Android marketplaces and supports Linux devices. When you don’t depend on a single distribution channel, one removal doesn’t cut you off from an entire country.
This is also why we build on open protocols and keep the platform available on as many systems as possible: Web, iOS, Android and Linux.
For founders and investors this matters more than it might seem. A project published on the platform is visible to an international audience of entrepreneurs, investors and analysts, not just a local circle.
If you have a project and want to put it in front of people beyond your home market, you are in the right place.

Сьогодні наш відділ отримав близько 70 заявок на огляд проєкту для залучення інвестицій. Від великих девелоперських комплексів до маленьких стартапів.
Приємна динаміка: порівняно з минулим роком більше проєктів приходять уже підготовленими, з нормальним пітчем, аналітикою і розумінням того, що вони роблять. Схоже, в наших країнах дедалі більше людей розуміє, як працюють інвестфонди та приватні інвестори.
Але швидко відреагували лише приблизно 10% заявників. Вони першими зрозуміли, що попереду черга, виконали умови для розгляду за кілька годин і першими надіслали всі матеріали. Саме так виглядає справжнє бажання вийти на старт.
Один день не дорівнює аналізу ринку, але ми займаємось цим уже п'ятий рік, тож динаміку відстежуємо.
Гарних вихідних 🤝

Код, управління компанією, архітектура, все це важливо. Але найбільше недооцінений скіл на старті будь-якого проєкту це маркетинг.
Тепер, коли до нас приносять проєкти, я перевіряю, чи закладений реальний бюджет на просування, чи прораховані обсяги і чи автор розуміє свою нішу.
Продукт, про який ніхто не знає, для ринку не існує.
