In 2012, Sissel moved from Copenhagen to Berlin for its open, vibrant and DIY spirit. She wanted to start a business and soon discovered that this process was difficult in the German capital.
As she began researching and collecting useful info and local advice, she thought: Why not make this info accessible to other founders and aspiring entrepreneurs in the city? What began as a document with key contacts and info started to evolve into a full-fledged print book idea. She eventually bootstrapped the project after being rejected by multiple investors. Then in 2014 Sissel launched the first Startup Guide book in Berlin and it sold out in less than 48 hours.
