Ukrainian refugees hoping to learn more about starting businesses in the United States were invited to attend a free small business seminar hosted by Geekdom, Frost Bank and Ukrainian San Antonio.

“There is a huge need and hunger from these refugees to, to be incorporated as part of our city, but also to get that support and those resources that are available for all so that they can take advantage of them,” said Mari Zavala, director of partnerships at Geekdom.

“When refugees come through San Antonio, they’re really getting help establishing themselves, finding a place to live, looking for jobs, but it’s really challenging for a lot of folks to look for jobs because many of them cannot find equivalent job level here in San Antonio, in United States, so many have thought about opening up a business,” said Khrystyuk.

“We wanted to provide a platform where they can learn about the banking services and how to operate and maneuver financing, and access to capital to start off a business. But also, we wanted to include the legal side because it’s completely different the way they’re used to doing business back home. We really want to educate and provide all of that knowledge so that they better navigate the space,” said Zavala.
