Ukrainian firm Jooble may resume investments in startups by 2026, stated co-founder Roman Prokofiev. Since launching its startup incubator in 2022, the company has allocated between $100,000 and $2 million to ten projects.
Founded in 2006 by Roman Prokofiev and Yevhen Sobakarov, Jooble initially aggregated job postings. A decade later, it introduced direct job listings for employers. “The job aggregation model has become obsolete,” Prokofiev noted.
