This kit is aimed at founders, country managers, COOs, recruiting teams and business developers of startups and scale-ups looking for information on international expansion.
With this first edition, you will find (almost) everything you need to launch your business in Germany. From a list of trusted partners to cover your different needs (and we know that there are many) to the sharing of experience and best practices of those - startups, scale-ups and VCs - who are already blooming in the German market.
Resources to help you in your expansion to Germany
A very special thanks to the following 12 scale-up champions who have each shared their unique expansion story in the kit: Agicap, Aircall, Ankorstore, BlaBlaCar, Doctolib, Exotec, Make.org, Malt, ManoMano, Platform.sh, Qonto and Sendinblue;
To the five Franco-German VC funds that shared their experience - usually limited to their portfolio startups: Hi Inov, Iris, Partech, Ventech and XAnge;
And to all our partners: Globalization Partners, Permira, Sendinblue and Weglot for enabling us to build this kit; HubSpot and WeWork for their longstanding partnership and support; Bpifrance, Business France, German Startups Association, Germany Trade & Invest, the Internet Economy Foundation and La French Tech Berlin and Munich for their knowledge and contribution to the kit.
And as they say over there: Jemandem die Daumen drücken! 🇩🇪
