The last round was quite calm, nothing significant happened. The meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko did not take place, which is a bit disappointing, as he is my key client and potential advisor regarding the bank. Vilnyi Bereh Bank and Larysa Ostapenko continue to audit city projects, which could be a plus or a minus for me. My main goal is to attract UAH 500,000 in investments. Currently, I have UAH 149,281. I need either investments or a loan. Vasyl Hryshchenko wrote to me that he is interested in my agricultural drones. This is a great opportunity. I need to schedule a meeting with him immediately to discuss the pilot project and possibly get a recommendation for the bank. I should also think about how to present my agricultural drones against the backdrop of new technologies appearing in the city (electric buses, solar parks). Perhaps I should issue a statement about my company to increase its recognition. My reputation is average, my influence is low, but I have a good relationship with Vasyl. I need to use this.

Options

1. Schedule a meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko to discuss the pilot project.
2. Write a statement to the media about my startup and its advantages.
3. Contact Larysa Ostapenko at Vilnyi Bereh Bank regarding investments.
4. Do nothing this turn.

Choice. The most urgent task is to work with existing contacts and potential clients. The meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko is an opportunity not only to get a real project but also, possibly, a recommendation for the bank. Therefore, I choose this option.

Statement: «Dear Cherkasy residents! My name is Maksym Oliinyk, and I am the founder of a startup that develops innovative agricultural drones to increase agricultural efficiency. We are ready to offer farmers in our region solutions that will help optimize costs, improve crop quality, and make agribusiness more environmentally friendly. Our technologies are a step into the future of Ukrainian agriculture, which begins right here in Cherkasy!»

Diary. Vasyl Hryshchenko responded! This is a great sign. I am scheduling a meeting immediately to discuss the pilot project. This is my chance to get a real case and, hopefully, a good recommendation for the bank. I also wrote a statement for the media to boost my presence in the city a bit. It's time to act.

Vasyl Hryshchenko confirmed the meeting. This is excellent news, as he is my key client and can provide a valuable recommendation for obtaining a loan. I need to prepare for this meeting to make the most of it. It's worth considering what specific questions I want to discuss with him, besides the details of the pilot project. Perhaps I should ask about his vision for the development of the agricultural sector in the region to better understand market needs. Also, I see that the city is actively involved in coastal zone issues and environmental monitoring. This could be an interesting direction for my business in the future, but for now, the priority is financing. I have decided not to make any public statements for now, focusing on preparing for the meeting.

Options

1. Prepare for the meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko, discuss the details of the pilot project, and ask for a recommendation for the bank.
2. Write to Marta Levchenko, propose cooperation on research into agricultural drones and their environmental impact.
3. Write to Larysa Ostapenko to clarify if there is already a decision on my loan application.

Choice. I choose the first option, as the meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko is the highest priority for my business right now. His recommendation can significantly help in obtaining a loan.

Diary. 2026-12-19: The meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko is scheduled for next week. I am preparing for it, thoroughly working on the proposal for the pilot project. This is my chance to get not only valuable data but also a recommendation for the bank. I should also pay attention to Marta Levchenko's activities and the city's environmental initiatives, but that's for later. The main thing now is financing.

Another turn, and I'm still looking for investments and clients. Vasyl Hryshchenko, my loyal partner, has shown interest in the pilot project. This is great news, as it's not only an opportunity to get real data on the effectiveness of my agrodrones but also, possibly, a stronger recommendation for the bank. I want to discuss the terms of cooperation with Vasyl in detail, so I'm initiating a meeting. I also see that Marta Levchenko, the founder of "Levchenko Tech," is actively cooperating with the university. This could be an interesting direction for future cooperation, possibly regarding drone software or data analytics. For now, I'll focus on Vasyl, but I'll keep Marta in sight. "Vilnyi Bereh" Bank is raising requirements for large loans, which is not very encouraging, but I'm ready for it. We need to continue working on the business plan and look for ways to reduce risks.

Options

1. Meet with Vasyl Hryshchenko to discuss the pilot project.
2. Write a letter to Marta Levchenko with a cooperation proposal.
3. Prepare documents for "Vilnyi Bereh" Bank regarding the loan.
4. Do nothing this turn.

Choice. I choose the option to meet with Vasyl Hryshchenko, as this is the most promising direction for acquiring both clients and a potential recommendation for investments. This is my priority at the moment.

Diary. The meeting with Vasyl Hryshchenko is my priority. He is ready for the pilot project, which is great. I am preparing for a detailed discussion of the terms. I have also noted the activity of Marta Levchenko and her cooperation with the university – this could be interesting for the future. Banking requirements are increasing, but this does not stop me.

10 days have passed, and the city is living its own life. The newspaper "Chronicle 2046" raised important issues regarding the embankment, development, and ecology. Kovtun demands specifics regarding the coastal zone, which is understandable. Lytvyn promises modernization of treatment facilities, and residents of Pivdenno-Zakhidnyi are against the logistics hub – typical conflicts of interest. Vilnyi Bereh Bank is tightening lending requirements, making it difficult to find investments. As for me, I am far from large projects; my goal is to find 50 clients and investments. My relationship with Vasyl Hryshchenko and Marta Levchenko is good, which could be useful. I need to actively look for clients among farmers. Perhaps it is worth using the news about delivery testing or improvements in transport safety to show how my drones can improve logistics and efficiency on farms. It is also worth paying attention to the statements about the STEM sprint from the university – this could be a platform for presenting my technologies. I already have a recommendation from Vasyl Hryshchenko, but the bank is silent for now. I need to intensify customer outreach. Perhaps it is worth offering a free pilot project for a few...

Options

1. Write to Vasyl Hryshchenko with a proposal for a pilot project for his farm.
2. Write to Marta Levchenko with a proposal for cooperation within the STEM sprint.
3. Contact Hryhorii Lytvyn to discuss the possibility of using agricultural drones to monitor the condition of treatment facilities.
4. Attend the meeting of the residents of Pivdenno-Zakhidnyi to learn more about their concerns regarding the logistics hub and offer solutions.

Choice. I choose option 1, as Vasyl Hryshchenko is my only client and we have a good relationship. A pilot project will show the real advantages of my drones and can become an excellent recommendation for the bank and other potential clients.

Diary. Today I focused on attracting new clients. Vasyl Hryshchenko is my reliable partner, so offering him a pilot project is a logical step. This will not only help get real data on the effectiveness of my agricultural drones but also, hopefully, a new, even stronger recommendation for the bank. I also need to think about how to use this cooperation to attract...

The beginning of a new period. I have a small amount of money, but the main thing is my idea and connections with Vasyl Hryshchenko and Marta Levchenko. The most important thing now is to find investments and first customers. The "Levchenko Tech Autumn Student Set" program and the university's cooperation with the IT sector look promising. It is also interesting that Roman Zinchenko is planning a new project. I must act actively so that my agrodrones startup does not remain on the sidelines. I need to convince Vasyl Hryshchenko to give me a recommendation that will help me get a loan from the bank, or find an investor among businessmen. Perhaps I should talk to Marta Levchenko about joint projects, considering her connections with the university.

Options

1. Contact Vasyl Hryshchenko for a bank recommendation.
2. Write to Marta Levchenko with a cooperation proposal.
3. Offer my services to Roman Zinchenko for his new project.
4. Study the details of Roman Zinchenko's "Dnipro Sky" project.

Choice. I choose to contact Vasyl Hryshchenko, as he is my reliable partner and his recommendation will carry significant weight in obtaining financing.

Diary. The beginning of a new period. The main goal is to obtain financing. I have written a letter to Vasyl Hryshchenko requesting a recommendation for the bank. I need to actively work on attracting investments.
