🚨𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled EU–INC, a new framework that lets you launch a company in 48 hours for under €100
Starting a company across the EU today = 27 legal systems, 60+ company structures 🤯
That might be about to change…
The European Commission just introduced 𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰., a new optional corporate framework designed to make Europe actually function like one market.
Here’s what stands out:
→ Set up a company in 48 hours
→ Cost: < €100
→ Fully online, no minimum capital
→ One single framework across all EU countries
→ Easier share transfers & fundraising
→ EU-wide employee stock options (huge for talent)
Especially the EU-wide stock option plans, taxed only when employees actually sell (instead of when granted) is huge.
This makes it far easier for startups to attract and retain top talent, finally putting Europe closer to the US playbook.

In short: This is Europe trying to compete with the simplicity of a Delaware C-Corp 🇺🇸
And honestly… it’s long overdue.
For years, European founders had 2 choices:
1. Stay local and deal with fragmentation
2. Move to the US to scale
𝗘𝗨 𝗜𝗻𝗰. is trying to remove that trade-off.
If executed well, this could be one of the most important structural changes for European startups in decades.
What do you think?
Chromebooks are the fast fashion of computing. Manufactured cheap, impossible to repair, out of support before they're out of the box. The cost was never low - it was just moved to the planet. We just don't call it what it is: designed e-waste.

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

In Terminator 3, when Skynet was activated, one of the lab personnel stated:
“Skynet is operating at 60 teraflops”
Which is less than the power of one RTX 4090 (82.6 TFLOPS)
America and China build robots.
Europe builds committees.
Tesla just showed Optimus in pilot production.
Humanoids being assembled like cars.
Meanwhile, in Europe, we’re still arguing over regulation, ethics boards, and frameworks that nobody in the real world reads.
This isn’t about copying the US.
It’s about realizing that if we keep optimizing for safety over progress, we’ll end up safe... but irrelevant.
I work in robotics companies every day.
We have world-class talent here...
But talent without permission to execute is just potential wasted.
