10 Undiscovered German Startups You Should Know

Here at the Coaching Blog- one of the world’s leading blogs on the subject of Leadership and Coaching we quite often post articles by leading authors and authorities- today we are delighted to post an article from Medium.com by EquidamWeekly.

Government support, lower cost of living and attractive cities such as Berlin are just few of the reasons why Germany earned the #9 spot on the Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking and #2 in Europe.

Much has been said about the home of Rocket Internet and Germany’s thriving startup scene. However, because of such proliferation of startups, a large number of companies are growing under the radar. We believe they deserve to be discovered, and who knows, maybe one day become the champions of the German economy!

Why these companies?

These companies displayed exceptional performance on important success factors — strength of the team, size of the opportunity, competitive environment, etc. — while remaining off the radar of investors and media websites.

Most lists and competitions are biased towards companies that reached the largest number of milestones. We tried to avoid this bias and instead reward companies on outstanding performance in peer groups based on sector, size, and development stage.
