Europe Backs ‘EU Inc’ — But will it go all the way?
The European Commission has thrown its weight behind the idea of a cross-EU company structure, dubbed “EU Inc”, aimed at making it easier to build and scale startups across the bloc. But while the political signal is clear, the execution so far falls short of what founders and investors had hoped for.
@Pathfounder’s Mike Butcher caught up with @andreasklinger, founder of Protoype Capital, an @euinc_petition co-organiser, to discuss the latest developments.

My opinion on the European Commission's proposal for an "EU Inc":
We are getting the icing, without the cake.
We asked for structural reform, for a genuine 28th regime.
Draghi asked for a 28th regime. Letta asked for a 28th regime. The Council asked for a 28th regime.
We got 27 new national forms instead. Each in their local ecosystem, local courts, and only partial harmonization, with *some* genuinely appreciated goodies.
But I fear these goodies won't be consequential.
Because this was always about building something that is better than Delaware. If we can't manage that Europe's best and brightest will continue founding outside of Europe, will move elsewhere, take capital from elsewhere and create jobs and growth elsewhere.
Europe deserves better than this. And we frankly cannot allow unambition and political complexity to hold us back from building the Europe we need.
If the EU and all 27 member states cannot deliver a true EU–INC, then we might need to build a coalition of genuinely ambitious European countries that are actually serious about fixing Europe.
Why should a damn EU Court - that apparently is "too hard" to implement - keep us back from reaching global competitiveness and technological sovereignity in Europe? It shouldn't.
European founders, investors and everyone who cares about Europe need to step up now and lobby their national governments and MEPs for a real EU–INC.
Nobody else will do it for us. Clearly.
Watch Lambertus Robben of @EU_Made_Simple analyse the "EU Inc" proposal by the Commission below. This is spot on.
We can do better. For Europe. 🇪🇺🫡

Me reading the Commission's EU Inc proposal. TBD Reminder: Anything that does not match the Delaware Inc will be inconsequential in practice. Because Europe's best founders will continue using the best-in-class legal entity. EU–INC should live up to that original ambition.

stripe has no MRR endpoint.
baremetrics charges $129/mo to calculate it for you.
I built a free open source CLI that does it in 3 seconds:
npx stripe-pulse mrr
→ $392.00
MRR, churn, LTV, NRR, 20 commands. free forever.

Rename your company for a product, then abandon the product.
Greatest pivot in tech history or the most expensive mistake ever made.

JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.

🇪🇺 EU Inc explained:
Europe has 27 countries.
But also 27 different ways to start a company.
That means:
• Different incorporation rules
• Different shareholder laws
• Different employee stock options
• Different reporting & compliance
Result?
European startups struggle to scale inside Europe.
So founders do something crazy:
They expand to the US first.
👉 EU Inc is the fix.
EU Inc (also called the 28th regime) would be:
• One company structure
• Valid across all EU countries
• Recognized by investors everywhere
With EU Inc, a founder could:
✅ Incorporate once
✅ Hire across borders easily
✅ Offer stock options EU-wide
✅ Raise capital faster
✅ Scale without re-incorporating
Think:
🇺🇸 Delaware C-Corp
But designed for Europe’s 450M people.

theres a difference between
move fast and break things and move fast and own things
breaking things is inevitable
owning means reverting quickly and explaining your reasoning
if you ship fast you will ship regressions
the question is not did something break but rather how did we respond
did you revert immediately or wait for a quarterly review
did you tell users what happened or quietly pretend nothing did
owning looks like rollback as soon as you see real damage
clear changelogs and honest post mortems
direct replies to the loudest critics
its not about being perfect but about being accountable in public
the worst move is to gaslight your users
if they say this is worse and your response is youre using it wrong youre done people
forgive bugs but they dont forgive being treated like they imagined them
move fast and own things is the only sustainable version of spend
ship aggressively but be even more aggressive about fixing reverting and communicating
speed without responsibility is a disservice to your paying users
