Mongolia is a true frontier for the adventurous entrepreneur. It’s advancing rapidly in Ulaanbaatar, but it still holds onto its nomadic roots. This division in the culture can cause unique opportunities for foreign entrepreneurs.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a business in Mongolia, the Wood Egg Mongolia startup guide will be your go-to reference manual.

Each year we hire 3 researchers (at least one local and one foreigner who live in Mongolia), a native English-speaking in-country writer, and an editor, to bring you insights from multiple perspectives.

Our researchers spend over 200 hours interviewing local business people, politicians, and citizens who regular foreigners would never have access to. This is 200+ hours you will save to hit the ground running. (Bonus: When you register your eBook at WoodEgg.com you get access to all of our raw research and interviews.)

In the 2014 Wood Egg Mongolia startup guide you will learn:
