if.team at IT Arena 2025: semifinals, new leads, and valuable experience

IT Arena is one of the key events for the Ukrainian tech community. This year’s participation was both a challenge and an opportunity for if.team to test ourselves, our product, and our team. While we didn’t reach the finals, the experience was productive and inspiring.

Key Results

Semifinals. We made it to the semifinals with our updated pitch deck. The presentation was exciting but far from perfect — yet the experience was definitely worth it.
Productive booth. The second day in the expo zone was unexpectedly successful: over 10 real leads, already justifying hundreds of conversations at the arena. A nice bonus was meeting clients who are already using our service.
Networking. Pre-, after-, and post-after parties are a traditional part of IT Arena. This year, they were less hectic but allowed for more meaningful conversations.
Personal side. The event was also a chance to spend time with family in Lviv: dinners at new restaurants, books in cafés, small arguments and reconciliations — all adding a special vibe to the trip.

Other Participants and Impressions

The victory went confidently to StackBob.ai. Their team deserves special recognition for charisma and positive energy.

A pleasant surprise was Ihor Kobzar reaching the finals — tough but impressive.

Thanks and Team Shoutouts

We enjoyed meeting friends and colleagues in the industry — every conversation mattered. Special thanks to our team:

Mykyta Tolstoy — driving sales and processes
Anton Makohonov — tireless at networking
Vladyslav Frolov — for energy and atmosphere
Oleksiy Sheptura — who was greatly missed this time

Although the final is still ahead, participating in IT Arena 2025 was a powerful experience for if.team. We gained new contacts, lead generation, client recognition, and a great time in Lviv.

Next up — new arenas, meetings, and victories.
