Once upon a time, in a buzzing creative agency in Kyiv, we were building websites and ad campaigns for global brands. It was exciting — but also exhausting. Every small client edit triggered a chain reaction: managers rewriting briefs, designers tweaking layouts, coders adjusting code. Deadlines burned, nights stretched long, and there was no ChatGPT, no low-code, no shortcuts. Just pure grit, coffee, and the desire to deliver.
That’s when Mykhailo had a spark of an idea: what if creating banners could be smarter, faster, and way more fun? This idea became BannerBoo. Backed by market research, fueled by curiosity, and carried by the startup spirit, we stepped onto a new path.
We pitched, learned, failed, and grew. In 2019, BannerBoo joined the Startup Wise Guys pre-acceleration program, and soon after — the full acceleration. We officially registered the company and dived headfirst into the startup world.
2020 — participation in the acceleration program of Startup Wise Guys (Tallinn).
2020 — Finalists at IT Arena’s Startup Competition (Lviv).
2022 — Selected for Space3AC, awarded the Poland Prize.
2022–2023 — Joined the GIST Incubation Program in the United States.
2023–2024 — Part of the Growth Ukraine Program with Startup Wise Guys & EBRD.
2025 — Received grants from USF and Google, joining the Google for Startups family.
What started as late nights in Kyiv grew into a global journey of creativity, resilience, and innovation. And we’re just getting started.
