4 days to launch. 500M UAH to support people in need. Just 1 year to achieve that
Co-founded a nation-level NGO in 4 days
After the 2022 full-scale invasion, many Ukrainians and organizations were left struggling. One thing stood out: help existed. But it was hard to connect people in need with those who could help. So we've created a coordination-focused startup to satisfy this need.
Functionality came first
We needed a simple, user-friendly homepage where people could either ask for help or offer it—just two clear buttons. We pulled off the copy and design in a record 48 hours. The site was made fit to browse under any conditions: even for people stuck in underground bomb shelters with old phones and bad Internet.
Combining simple NGO-like look
and non-cliche visuals
The name came naturally—in Ukrainian, “SpivDiia” literally means “co-action.” That’s really the heart of the project—Ukrainians helping Ukrainians, using what they already have. For the visual identity, we leaned on the Ukrainian flag and colors.
