European Founders at Work

More about the book

In this insightful collection, top European startup founders and venture capitalists share their journeys to building successful companies. The interviews highlight the unique challenges and opportunities faced in Europe compared to the U.S., offering a nuanced perspective on entrepreneurship. Readers will gain an understanding of the founders' local and global views, their competitive strategies, funding experiences, and the hurdles they encountered along the way.

This variety provides a comprehensive overview of the European startup landscape, featuring businesses that have gone public in their home countries, those backed by European venture capital, and others that achieved success through bootstrapping. The foreword by Saul Klein, founder of LOVEFiLM and The Accelerator Group, adds further credibility to the insights shared.
