Graz Startup City Guide

As you may now Vienna was our very first Startup City Guide – admitted: it took us quite some time to publish the second guide for Austria. But finally, we can present Graz, the country’s second biggest city, as a city to found your startup in. Let us take you through the different stops you’ll have to go to when starting a business: we’ll show you where to meet like-minded people, enthusiasts, mentors & investors. We’ll also show you which co-working spaces you should consider when making your office choice & what possibilities for funding you have. So go ahead and check it out before you miss out!

We’re also very happy to announce that Graz has already been our 37th Startup City Guide! Yes, that’s true – time flies and we look forward to keep them coming. However we can only do that with the help of you, our community. So if you want to contribute a guide for your city & want to get noticed in the European startup community get in touch & let’s do it!
