In March 2025, Allied For Startups published the “Mastering the Startup Journey: A New Approach To Closing the Innovation Gap” report which examines the challenges and opportunities faced by startups in Europe as they progress through the various stages of growth: from their initial formation to scaling and eventual exit.
