About Startupistan

At Startupistan Germany, we fund scholarships and training with corporate partners to help overlooked talent move into stable, well-paid roles.

Our Story

In Germany, access to career training often depends on circumstances beyond your control. Many motivated individuals are excluded from opportunities and government-funded programs due to their visa status, employment situation or other eligibility barriers.

We founded Startupistan to change that. We work with corporate partners like SAP and Google to fund scholarships for people who do not qualify for traditional support. We believe everyone deserves the chance to build in-demand skills and access well-paying careers.

Where We Focus

Startupistan is based in Berlin and operates throughout Germany. We focus on the German tech industry, where demand for skilled talent continues to grow and where underrepresentation remains a challenge.
