We bring together young entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators to turn bold ideas into real impact. Our mission is to help the next generation build ventures that address today’s challenges, from sustainability and technology to social inclusion.

We do this through our annual START Summit and START Hack events, our START Fellowship programs, and our growing global network. Backed by dedicated partners and an engaged community, we create the space and support needed to turn ambition into action.

Our Goals

What we strive to achieve through our mission and vision.

We strive to build a world where every young founder has the means and confidence to turn ideas into impactful ventures. Creating a culture of entrepreneurship that drives progress and positive change.

EMPOWER LEADERS

Our goal is to unite students, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry experts in a thriving ecosystem that encourages innovation, shared learning, and long-term partnerships that shape the future of business and technology.

BUILD ECOSYSTEM

We aim to ensure that opportunity is open to all, by amplifying underrepresented voices, lowering barriers to entry, and helping diverse perspectives shape Europe’s and the world’s entrepreneurial landscape.

ADVANCE INCLUSION

DESIGNED FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

We’re a not-for-profit organization built on two simple ideas: do good work and make good things happen.

Every program, event, and partnership at START Global exists to support people who want to build, learn, and grow. Whether it’s through the START Fellowship for promising founders, the Summit that connects ideas with investors, or our collaborations with global partners — everything we do feeds back into our mission.

We keep improving how we work, how we connect people, and how we create value for our community — always with one goal: to empower the next generation to lead with purpose.

At START Global, we envision a world where every ambitious mind has the opportunity to bring their ideas to life. We’re the seeding ground for entrepreneurial talent, empowering students, founders, and innovators to take bold steps toward shaping the future. By connecting entrepreneurial potential with leading investors, industry experts, and a global network, we create the conditions for groundbreaking ideas to flourish and transform into impactful ventures.

Our vision goes beyond fostering start-ups but we aim to diversify and strengthen the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem. We believe that entrepreneurship should be inclusive, accessible, and a force for solving society’s biggest challenges.
