🚀🇪🇺 Remove hurdles for European startups now by participating in the consultation: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

If Europe Wants Global Tech Leaders, It Needs Global Ambition.
The 28th Regime is not bureaucracy.
It’s infrastructure for a truly single market.
It’s time to move from good intentions to structural change.

Who’s Missing at the Table?
Startup voices.
Too often, regulations are shaped with corporations in mind—not founders.
The 28th Regime must be built with the ecosystem, not around it.

Good Policy, Bad Execution.
Well-meaning strategies (AI Act, Chips Act, SME policies) lack cohesion.
The result: confusion, delay, and limited impact.

What’s Going Wrong in Brussels?
Too many partial, diluted reforms.
Recent proposals ignore what startups actually need:
– Seamless onboarding
– Unified investment docs
– Digital-first operations

“EU, Inc.” is About Scale.
The US has a 330M-strong single market.
China the same.
Europe must offer startups a way to operate as if it were one economy—not 27.

Stock Options: Europe’s Missed Opportunity.
Startups can’t compete for talent if teams face 27 different tax regimes.
A unified stock option model could level the field with the US.

Startups Need to Raise Capital Without Borders.
Today: fragmented laws = fragmented cap tables = legal headaches for founders and investors.
The 28th Regime would harmonise documents and simplify cross-border fundraising.

The Solution? An Optional 28th Regime.
One unified legal framework.
One digital registry.
One set of rules for startups to operate across the EU—without repeating admin in 27 jurisdictions.

27 Member States. 27 Legal Systems. 1 Barrier to Scale.
European startups are forced to navigate a patchwork of company laws, tax codes, and labour rules.
Growth stalls. Capital hesitates. Talent leaves.
