What's inside

This guide breaks down what it actually costs to launch a tech startup in Europe: six expense categories, each with real figures, plus the costs founders usually forget to budget for. Work through the categories in order and you build a complete number, not a partial one, because each cost sits on top of the last: legal fees before you can trade, a brand and a site before you can be found, tools before you can operate, people before you can scale.

  • Employee-related costs
  • Insurance, accounting, etc.
Branding & marketing
