Heya,

New year, new Seedtable!

In the past month I completely redesigned and re-built a brand new Seedtable from scratch, and researched 6500+ tech startups all over Europe.

The result is startup rankings for 29 countries and 63 cities. Wanna check the best Startups in Berlin? You got it. What about the best ones in Sofia? You got that too.

It wasn’t easy, but it was fun. Go explore the site, comb through the rankings and if you have any feedback, please be brutally honest.
