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 37 European countries and 512+ sector tags.
