Packed with city essentials, practical info, in-depth interviews, and insightful tips, Startup Guide aims to guide, empower, and inspire people to transform their business ideas into reality. At the core of Startup Guide is the belief that as more and more people start their own businesses, the world of work is changing. To help entrepreneurs navigate startup communities across the globe and connect with locals, each guidebook gives a comprehensive overview of the city's ecosystem. The books are co-created with the community in each city, and feature the top startups, entrepreneurs, investors, programs, schools, and coworking spaces. Startup Guide now has over 20 books featuring cities across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US, including Berlin, New York, and Singapore. Startup Guide also produces online content and has stores in Berlin, Lisbon, and Copenhagen.
Each guide has essential information about the local ecosystem, as well as insights, how-to's, inspirational case studies, and tips from entrepreneurs and experts. The books are split into seven main sections: Startups: Innovative businesses, usually under three-years old, challenging the status quo. Programs: Ambitious accelerator and incubator programs which help startups refine their product and make connections. Spaces: Popular coworking hubs (both new and established) where entrepreneurs can grow. Experts: Established individuals and organizations with valuable advice and insight for young businesses.
