Cofounders of EcoBean (), Kacper Kossowski and Marcin Koziorowski are tackling the environmental challenge of coffee waste. ☕ 🌱

Securing funding is one of the most crucial and challenging milestones for startups.

Drawing on insights from Maciej Zajda, Head of the VC Team and Katarzyna Wójcik, Associate at Domański Zakrzewski Palinka (DZP) – one of Poland’s largest law firms – we explore the most common sources of startup funding, the associated legal considerations, and discuss how entrepreneurs can protect themselves and their businesses.

Our Story

Founded by Sissel Hansen in 2014, Startup Guide today has books in over 20 cities in Europe, the Middle East and the USA, including London, Tel Aviv and NYC. Coming up next year are books in Asia and Africa, such as Singapore and Cape Town!

In autumn 2018, the company launched a media website, startupguide.com, which was born out of the desire to explore different types of content and reach a wider audience by taking advantage of the digital medium.

At the core of Startup Guide’s three physical stores in Copenhagen and Lisbon is the belief that there’s nothing like real-life experiences and seeing and feeling actual products. The stores double up as offices for the company’s 15-person team.
