What is European Startup Universe?
European Startup Universe is the biggest project for EU tech startups, in collaboration with Founderhood, connecting thousands of early-stage startups with the best minds of the EU tech community - unicorn founders, known investors, and experts.
Our ambitious goal
Our goal is to support and connect 10.000 early-stage startups across the EU - run by EU founders from around the globe - with the brightest minds of the EU diaspora, late-stage founders, angel investors, corporates, and experts through massive 6-week online national programs open for every EU founder. We want to give access to opportunities for funding, expansion across EU countries, and opportunities to find new clients to grow revenues.
How is ESU going to achieve this?
By bringing together European countries to join forces and launch 6-week online national programs. Every participating EU country will launch a program suitable for their nation. All 6-week programs will take place simultaneously on the Founderhood platform, in March-April 2022.
Who supports this whole initiative?
The non-profit initiative of the European Startup Universe is under the patronage of the European Committee of the Regions, and Mariya Gabriel, European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education, and Youth.
