The Joyride team is represented by talented students of group KN-321v:

Daryna Lisova
-
Lola Yunusova
-
Iryna Zmiievska
The project was the result of a successful collaboration between the students and Andrii Boynyk, the startup mentor and Director of Project Support at Simcord, who also serves as a teaching assistant at the Department of Project Management in Information Technologies.
It was within the “Fundamentals of Project Management” course that the team developed the concept, tested hypotheses, identified user needs, and validated prototype functionality.
This victory is not only a recognition of their hard work — it’s a shared achievement of the entire team!
The Joyride team is actively continuing to develop the project, focusing on scaling, integrating new features, and attracting partners.
A heartfelt thank you to the faculty of the Department of Project Management in Information Technologies for their guidance and support throughout this journey!
