EU–INC TEAM
Built by people who believe Europe can do better.
EU–INC is a grassroots campaign and policy solution, built by founders, investors, lawyers, policy experts, journalists, and operators from across Europe. Different backgrounds. One goal: a real European startup standard.
This is a project by the startup community, for the startup community. A small core team. And 26,000 people who made it possible.
The real team behind EU–INC.
Founders, investors, operators, lawyers, journalists, and policy advocates from 27 countries who signed, shared, and pushed for a real European startup standard.
None of this would exist without them.

SPECIAL THANKS
None of this was built alone.
EU–INC is the result of countless hours of volunteer work from people across the European startup ecosystem. With help from the EU–INC working group: Nicolas Delwaide, Evan Testa, Brendan Moran, Alexandros Nikolaidis, Benoit Vandevivere, and many others.
We would also like to thank Eric Wahlforss, Christian Reber, Lucien Burm, Giancarlo Carnovale, Michael Jackson, and Isidro Laso — who, among many many others, were instrumental in securing key initial signatories through their outreach.
The website was built with the help of the Framer team — thank you for helping us get this up and running in record time.
And most of al, thank you to every single one of the 26,000+ founders, investors, operators, and policy advocates who signed, shared, and pushed for this. You are EU–INC.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Make some noise. The vote is coming.
Help us ensure everyone in the tech, startup and policy ecosystem knows about EU–INC. Founders, investors, politicians, press, national startup associations, and policy groups.
Support us on Twitter/X and LinkedIn, and share our updates and news. Write about the critical necessity of EU–INC and a ambitious implementation of Brussel’s current proposal.
The next phase really matters. We need to get the details right.
Our logo and social media images are available here.
You want to make Europe a better place for startups? This is our chance.
Are you a policy maker?
EU–INC has already reached the European Commission. Now Brussel's own proposal moves into negotiations between the Council and Parliament.
Policy makers, MEPs, ministry officials, and national startup associations can make a real difference in the next few months. Talk to your colleagues. Push for free choice of registration seat. Don’t let the one clause that makes this useful get removed.
