EU Inc - for Startups

EU Inc is designed to make life easier for European startups by removing the friction of operating across multiple jurisdictions.

• Incorporate once and operate across all EU member states
• No need for local subsidiaries just to hire, invoice, or raise

• Fully digital setup via an EU-wide registry
• No minimum share capital requirement
• Standardized company structure designed for modern startups

• EU-wide standard share structure recognizable to international investors
• Built-in support for EU-FAST (simple, SAFE-like early-stage instruments)
• Less legal friction in seed and pre-Series A rounds

• Hire employees anywhere in the EU under one entity
• No need to re-incorporate or restructure as you expand geographically

• Harmonized EU-ESOP framework
• One employee equity plan usable across member states
• More competitive talent offering vs US startups

• Centralized, digital share registry
• Clean ownership records that scale with growth
• Easier diligence later (Series A, B, exits)

• Suitable from incorporation through growth and exit
• Avoids painful legal migrations (e.g. "Delaware flip" equivalents in Europe)

• Governed by EU regulation instead of 27 national interpretations
• Reduced legal uncertainty as the company grows cross-border

• Makes European startups more comparable to US C-Corps
• Lowers friction for non-EU investors, partners, and acquirers

• EU-Inc is an additional regime, not a replacement
• Founders can still choose national company forms if preferred

• Proposal driven by founders, operators, lawyers, and VCs
• Focused on real startup pain points, not bureaucracy
