A ‘black swan’ event that can fundamentally improve #Europe’s future competitiveness: EU inc, the new pan-European startup entity. Sign the petition below! The new entity would: ✅ Standardize investment processes to enable genuine pan-European investments. ✅Establish a unified employee stock options program to share startup success more widely. ✅Simplify cross-border operations, such as employment and capital flows. ✅Fully digitize the incorporation process, reducing it to just a few hours – entirely in English and online. The results? Faster scaling. More breakout successes. An influx of global capital. Europe becomes (one of) the best place to build a groundbreaking business, and the launchpad for the largest and most impactful companies of the future. This isn't about mimicking Silicon Valley. It’s about amplifying our unique European strengths: our diversity, our decentralized talent pool, and our unique #startup hubs. Let’s not just imagine what the future might be – let's create it together.

Good morning from sunny Silicon Valley! On the international stage, The US startup ecosystem continues to lead the way. In 2023, US startups raised more than double the funding of their European counterparts. Here’s why: 🔹 The US startup ecosystem is characterized by a higher willingness to take risks, greater curiosity, and less stigma around failure. 🔹 The US is at the forefront of technological breakthroughs, particularly in generative AI, which attracts the majority of global venture capital. 🔹 With significant backing from private institutional investors, US entrepreneurs enjoy greater freedom to take risks and scale their ventures. 🔹 The largest and most successful tech companies in the world are predominantly US-based and venture-backed. 🔹 The US regulatory environment is more unified and conducive to innovation compared to Europe’s, which faces complex regulations. The US remains essential for international expansion, investment, and partnerships, making it an important hub for global startups.
