About us
We are WorldStartup
WorldStartup offers a global platform to people who live and breathe social and impact-driven entrepreneurship. Trailblazers who care for nature and strive for equality. For people who prefer unicorns to wander in fairy tales. And exits on a highway.
For changemakers.
Just like you. Let’s shake hands.


We love changemakers
We support changemakers at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey, creating the best possible conditions for personal, team and business development.

An Inclusive and Regenerative Future
Theory of Change

At the core of our mission lies the belief that an inclusive and sustainable economy is not only possible but is also imperative for the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. Through our Theory of Change, we seek to ignite a wave of positive growth, powered by collaboration and equality.
