Startup Europe
Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- European startups — 'an online directory that lists all European Startup Companies'
- Free signup and listing: 'Sign up for Free and list your startup, improve your SEO, get notifications about EU competitions'
- Account required: Submit a startup routes to users/join.php; dashboard at /dashboard
Prepare before opening the form
- Account registration at users/join.php
- Startup name, country, category, description, website URL, logo
- Complete the profile fully — a 'certification badge' for your website is earned by filling in the profile
Workflow
- Open startupeurope.net and click 'Submit a startup' or 'Sign Up'
- Register a free account
- Complete the startup profile (country, category, description, URL, logo)
- Profile appears in the directory's country/category listings; earn the certified badge by completing the profile
Watch for
- Site is plain HTTP-era styling and dated (© 2021 footer, contact via Greek address [email protected]) — verify it's still maintained before relying on it
- Email notifications about 'EU events and surveys' are part of the deal — expect mailing-list additions
- Badge is positioned as an earned certification — keep it only if the listing stays live
- Low-visibility directory; treat as a minor backlink/citation
What counts as live
The startup's public profile appears in startupeurope.net's country/category listings
Not verified
- Whether outbound links are dofollow ('precious backlinks' claimed but rel not verified)
- Whether there's any manual review or instant publish
- Whether the site is actively maintained in 2026
- Exact profile fields behind the signup
