Where can startups look for support during the COVID-19 crisis? BONUS: Free Courses and Tools

 

The rapidly spreading coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic affects every sphere of our lives. Undoubtedly, the most important and most severe effect it has on the health and life of people. However, in the long term, it is the global economy that will be particularly hard hit by this crisis.

It is a challenging time to run a business. Regardless of the size of a company, the owners must show great creativity to fight for their future. As we work mainly with startups, we know that this is a particularly unstable period for them. Launching a new product on the market is never easy, and in the face of a global epidemic, it may seem to be almost impossible. However, it’s still worth trying.

That’s why we share a crowdsourced list of initiatives that have been developed to help startups and companies affected by the restrictions introduced following the COVID-19 epidemic. Certainly, for many more months, the situation will be far from perfect, but we hope that thanks to these opportunities, you will be able to deal with it.

We divided the list into two main parts – global initiatives and those aimed at European companies.

    Great article.Thanks for your great information. The content are quite impressive. Thanks for putting together this rundown. I regularly tune into a writer’s circle Facebook group. Recently, another content writer mentioned a content optimization tool called INK Haven’t tried it out yet but looking at the INK for All download link the app looks like a one tool to rule them all that does almost everything. Has anyone worked with it yet?
