Although resources to get started as an entrepreneur in Eastern Europe are available, not everyone has access to them. Startup ecosystems can be fragmented, competitive, and hidden to newcomers, which is detrimental for local startups and community growth.

To help Eastern European entrepreneurs overcome these challenges, we released v1 of the Eastern Europe Startup Ecosystem to help them launch and grow a startup. It was developed by the leaders of the following Founder Institute accelerator programs: Eastern Europe, Romania, Poland, and Hungary.

This first release is an expansive list that includes over 1,690 startup resources across Eastern Europe organized by stage. While we spent many hours on this research, this is just a DRAFT, and more input is needed, so please leave your comments on this collaborative Google document to help us complete the list. There are definitely omissions on this current version

Are you looking to build a startup in Eastern Europe? Then apply to the Founder Institute today!
