Mission Possible becomes a platform and opens applications for Batch 5. How to apply?

Mission Possible has opened applications for the fifth accelerator batch and announced a transition to a new operating model.

According to AIN, the company reported this.

The organization will develop as a platform that combines acceleration, community, mentorship and international opportunities for tech founders.

More about the change in selection model and operating format

The first change under the new model will be a wave-based participant selection format. Instead of one large intake, Mission Possible will run several separate cohorts within a single acceleration period.

The company says this will allow forming groups with a similar level of startup development, founders’ professional experience and potential for mutual collaboration. Each wave will follow its own program, but all participants will operate within a shared ecosystem together with Mission Possible alumni, mentors and partners.

They are also changing the application procedure. From now on the form will be open on an ongoing basis, and each wave will have a separate deadline.

What is known about Batch 5

Batch 5 is aimed at founders of technology companies from various industries and regions of Ukraine who are working on product development, business scaling or preparing to raise investment.

The program has also been updated. After a mandatory four-week offline intensive in Kyiv, participants will continue their learning in a hybrid format.

Participants of Batch 5 will get access to investor readiness preparation, a mentorship program, Demo Day, the Mission Possible community and Growth Experiment Credits worth $6,000. Mission Possible takes 2.5% equity for participation in the program.

The application deadline for the first wave of Mission Possible Batch 5 is set for September 1, 2026. To get into the program you need to fill out the form.

About Mission Possible

Mission Possible — an in-real-life acceleration program for founders who strive for startup growth and fundraising.

It was launched with the support of the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund in September 2023 to build and scale Ukrainian startups.

In early July 2026 Mission Possible announced the formation of an advisory board — the Board of Supporters (Advisory Board).

Mission Possible noted that the new advisory body will help the organization develop strategically and build a sustainable support model for tech entrepreneurship in Ukraine.

The newly created Board of Supporters includes eight representatives of the tech industry:

• Bohdan Dreigaupt (Co-founder & CEO at Crosscheck);
• Stakh Voznyak (Founder & CEO at Cargofy);
• Ivan Kutanin (CEO at Skylum);
• Maks Shtepa (CEO & Co-founder at SKELAR);
• Dmytro Lola (Founder & CEO at Kiss My Apps);
• Sviatoslav Sviatnenko (Managing Director at Endeavor Ukraine, Founder & Chairman at Mission Possible);
• Andrii Sorokhan (Venture Director at u.ventures);
• Anton Vashchuk (Director of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund).

The company added that the creation of the Board of Supporters is part of a new stage in the organization’s development.

While previously it focused mainly on acceleration programs, it now plans to develop long-term infrastructure for Ukrainian tech entrepreneurship that will cover founders’ journeys from idea inception to company scaling and entering international markets.
