Andrii Chemerysov, Former VP of ETF Ukraine
Now at the University of Pennsylvania
"Entrepreneurship has always been at the core of my life, so when the opportunity to share my experience and general knowledge on the topic presented itself, I was thrilled. In a matter of months, we launched a chapter of Elevate the Future in Ukraine with the help of the global headquarters and conducted a 4-week lesson in my school. Students got a chance to develop their ideas, and the moment my students started presenting their ideas was truly invaluable. I realized that absolutely everyone has a great idea in their head, but they need some spark and background knowledge to start taking that idea seriously. That is exactly what Elevate the Future provides in my opinion. That first spark, first push, first bit of information to start a student's journey in business. I hope to keep this mindset that anyone can have a billion-dollar idea just sitting in the back of their head at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where I was recently accepted."
