On the sidelines of conflict

INC. THIS MORNING On the sidelines of conflict Good morning, Semyon Dukach was 11 when he and his family fled the Soviet Union in 1979 with just $100 among them. He would become a professional blackjack player, a founder of technology companies Vert and Fast Engines, and an angel investor to more than 100 businesses. In 2017, Dukach founded the Boston-based venture capital firm, One Way Ventures, which invests in immigrant-founded companies.  Russia's invasion of Ukraine prompted Dukach and his wife Natasha, who emigrated from Ukraine on a cultural exchange visa a little over a decade ago, to quickly get involved. They rushed to the Ukraine-Romania border and quickly figured out refugees' biggest need: cash, which they provided, no questions asked. The pair have since launched a website, CashForRefugees.org. Read on to learn how Semyon and Natasha Dukach are ramping up their efforts. SPONSORED CONTENT What’s the current state of the threat landscape? It’s no field of daisies.
