Varna Startup City Guide

This time we’ll guide you through a startup city you may not have heard of yet: Varna. Varna is located in northern Bulgaria, right by the coast of the black sea – if that doesn’t sound like a place you’d love to work at I don’t know what is. But not only the sea makes this upcoming city attractive for young entrepreneurs. Varna is the center of Bulgaria when it comes to business and education; perfect circumstances to found your business in an environment with a thriving startup community, lots of co-working spaces and funding opportunities. Check out our Startup City Guide for further infos!

Articles You’ll Enjoy Reading

This week has brought articles helpful from the beginning of your startup to executing ideas.

Let’s start with the experience one of our authors shares: Luca’s telling you how he screwed up his startup dream and what you can learn from his mistakes.
Mistakes are also made setting up events for your startup. Here’s how to avoid them & how to promote your event like a rockstar! But not only events can drive engagement towards your company – live streaming apps like Meerkat and Periscope also can. Read up on how you can learn from big firms & implement the ideas into your marketing tactics.
We already featured 2 design thinking articles, which you can find here. The one we published this week, is about some tools the technique offers. We take you from cultural probes to desktop walkthrough. Learn more about the toolbox & stay tunes for upcoming ones!

StartUs Connect 6.0 Vienna

Speaking of events: we’re overwhelmingly happy to announce StartUs Connect Vienna 6.0 on October 22nd. Now, it may seem that this is a regular event when in fact it’s not. This event will be special for us because we celebrate the first birthday of StartUs! Since our launch last October a lot of things happened, a lot has changed and it all turned out very well so far! But we don’t want to disclose too much, only so much for now: we’re going to have prominent speakers who will talk about the following topics:

• Startup Financing
• Startup Mentoring
• Startup Success Story
