GNI Startups Lab Europe

Together with the European Journalism Center and the Google News Initiative (GNI), we supported ten startups in the very first GNI Startups Lab Europe. The six-month funding program was designed to support journalistic startups in developing sustainable business models and, in addition to workshops and one-on-one coaching, offered regular opportunities for mutual exchange and networking with media practitioners from all over Europe. Participating startups received financial support of up to 25,000 euros.
