About

About Europe Startup Guide

An open, curated directory mapping the European tech ecosystem — built for founders, investors, and operators who want to find each other faster.

Our mission

Europe's startup ecosystem is vibrant but fragmented across dozens of countries, languages, and data sources. Europe Startup Guide brings this landscape into one place — a transparent, searchable directory that helps founders find the right investors, accelerators find promising teams, and operators discover opportunities across the continent.

How the data works

Every entry in the directory is stored as structured data that is regularly reviewed and refreshed. New entries come from community submissions, ecosystem partnerships, and editorial research. All submissions are reviewed before publication to maintain data quality.

What we cover

The directory tracks startups, venture capital firms, angel investors, accelerators, incubators, innovation hubs, venture studios, support organisations, events, and event organisers across 53 countries and 918 sector tags, 349 of which have a page of their own.

How current it is

The date above is the newest entry in the directory, read from the data itself rather than written here. Submissions and corrections are reviewed by a person before they go live, so that date is the honest answer to how fresh the directory is — if it drifts, so has the directory.

Get involved

Europe Startup Guide is community-powered. If you know of a startup, investor, or event that should be listed, or if you spot an error, we want to hear from you.

Strategic partner
