Entrepreneurship Hub
Help for students and young people starting a company, and a place to grow it with founders who share what they know.
Official guides are ready now for Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, and Portugal. More countries are on the way.
Overview
Where to begin
Students and young people can start here when they want to turn an idea into a company. These pages keep the official links together, and the people on EdBirds are here to share what they know.
- A setup path, then the filing site for each country we have covered so far
- Public funding and grants from the agency that actually runs them
- Government tools for tax, company names, and finance
- Trade and founder routes when you are ready to look abroad
Built for every stage
Who it is for
Founders at different stages. One hub, different doors.
Growing small companies
Funding, hiring, compliance, and partnerships once the company is already trading.
Students and side projects
Start from the public pages, with other founders nearby, before you pay a consultant.
