Scale-Ups in Europe: An Untapped Potential.
Digital Report (HTML, CSS, JS)
The intention of this study, developed together with Yi Shin Foundation, Goethe University and Techquartier, is to understand the key factors for a successful startup and whether entrepreneurial success is replicable.
New economy companies don’t compete sorely based on their own operational excellence, but also on the aggressiveness of the applied growth-driven valuation model. All these hypotheses and observations haven’t been proven by any publications before, which makes this report especially interesting.
The foundation of this report was laid by nine individual theses and academic pieces of work, of which six were bachelor’s degree and three were master’s degree theses. Seven were conducted within Goethe University, Frankfurt, and two within the University of Applied Sciences, Darmstadt.
The report primarily sourced almost 400 start-ups in the region of greater Frankfurt, making this the largest entrepreneurial inquiry on start-ups in the region to date. For secondary data, they also relied on Start-up Genome’s proprietary database of almost half a million companies, with survey data covering over 12,000 ecosystems leaders across the globe, and several one-on-one interviews with entrepreneurs and ecosystem leaders in Frankfurt that culminated in the Frankfurt Start-up Ecosystem Report
Scaling a business should be in every founder’s mind from day one. But that said, scaling a company is difficult, for scale-ups grow dozens or hundreds of times faster than most companies, let alone institutions.
The Scale-Ups in Europe Report was created by Yi Shin Foundation, Goethe University and Techquartier and developed for Web by Yisela Alvarez Trentini.
