Nine startups underwent pilot testing at Fozzy Group as part of the Fozzy Venture Studio accelerator program 11.11.2025

Fozzy Group has completed the second round of its Fozzy Venture Studio accelerator program. This time, the team received applications from 60 startups, 10 of which were selected for piloting, and 8 successfully passed this stage. One startup from the first batch also continued testing.

During the program, startups tested their solutions in real business conditions, received feedback from experts, and presented their results during Demo Day.

Nine startups passed the piloting stage:

Ricky Food. An app that helps save food from being thrown away. Users can buy “secret sets” of products with damaged packaging or short shelf life at reduced prices. The piloting of an app took place in two Silpo stores — in Kyiv and Ivano-Frankivsk.

Sure. An AI assistant that automates communication with guests. The system combines all communication channels and provides round-the-clock support in a chatbot.

Deus Robotics. A robotic system that photographs shelves and counters, analyzes their condition, and generates reports for Superiors (Perevershnyky) – Silpo employees. The project helps to identify problems in sales areas more quickly. One such robot is already being tested in a supermarket in Kyiv.

Pricer24. A price monitoring service. During piloting on the Pampik platform, the team tested the ability to identify items for expanding the assortment and quick market analysis by category managers.

InBoxWine. A digital sommelier for personalizing wine sales. The system makes recommendations to guests based on their purchase history. Additional features include automatic replacement of missing goods and selection of food pairings for wine.

Eco-Service. Taromats for collecting used bottles. Testing took place in two supermarkets in Kyiv and Brovary and confirmed the demand for convenient recycling solutions.

AskFor. A service for calling a salesperson using a mobile phone. The guest scans a QR code, and the salesperson receives a notification. The solution is being piloted in four Silpo supermarkets and helps improve the guest experience and optimize the work of employees in the sales areas.

Servus systems integration. A project to create a multi-acquiring ecosystem — a system that combines various methods of accepting cashless payments to reduce the cost of processing them.

Adminix. An AI solution for automating internal business processes. It allows developers and business users with minimal technical training to create, manage, and scale full-fledged web solutions.

Most startups will continue piloting outside the acceleration program — in partnership with various businesses of the holding.

The startup AskFor, which showed the best results, is preparing for the commercial launch of its service in 30 stores of the Silpo chain. This will be the first example of large-scale integration of a solution tested within Fozzy Venture Studio.
