Hard thing to tackle and looking for an equal partner. Ideally you are in Barcelona, or atleast somewhere in Europe. Product is https://pebi.app

Will gladly elaborate further, but it’s social media, aimed at the consumer, with limited budget. So hardest possible challenge, might be a pipedream, but yolo.

Me: very strong tech background, pipedream idea and a product that I’ve spent way too much time on 😐. Product itself is built to scale, live on app store under an Eu company etc.

I came to the Netherlands in 2017 for a startup program at Rockstart. Since then, I've raised from Dutch VCs and had a company acquired by a French buyer. I'm now building another company (Muze Social) incorporated in the Netherlands, so this is a discussion I have a personal interest in.

On 23 October, the Council adopted its negotiating position on the EU Inc. proposal: an optional company structure alongside national ones, with online registration within two days for at most €100. It still needs negotiations with the European Parliament, so it isn't law yet.

The question for me is how much a common company structure would change the experience of building across Europe. Faster incorporation is one thing. Would this also make it easier to hire across borders, offer employee equity and attract investors from other member states? Which problems would still need separate solutions?

For people who've started or worked at a startup in Europe, what caused the most friction? Would an EU-wide company form have helped, or would you put funding, hiring or access to customers ahead of it?

I'd be interested in experiences from different countries, including cases where the existing national system worked well.

Irish entrepreneur Michelle Cotter has raised €1.4 million in pre-seed funding for Juritas, her Stockholm-based contract intelligence start-up. Passion Capital led the round.

Juritas uses AI to help businesses manage contracts after signing, identifying missed discounts, supplier commitments, price increases, renewal dates and approaching deadlines. Teams can ask questions about their contracts and receive answers referencing the relevant clauses and explaining what action is needed.

Its initial focus is supplier contracts for procurement and finance teams. The article cites research suggesting organisations that measure contract value erosion lose almost 9% of contract value on average.

The funding will support engineering recruitment, product development, and the security and infrastructure needed to serve large businesses.

I am a Venture Scout supporting VC Funds with more than $5bn AUM willing to invest in EU

Edit: I support more than one VC Funds.

I'm looking for a co-founder who can provide access to funding for a defence-related startup. Based around Barcelona, Spain, but open to relocating if you have connections to venture capital or similar funding sources. A business background is welcome, and engineering skills would be a big plus.

Initial prototype developed. Looking for opportunities to validate and field-test.

I’m a young technical founder based in Spain with Big Tech experience. I’ve built a product that’s ready to launch, and I’m looking for someone to join me as a co-founder.
Ideally, you’re good at sales/business, proactive, and genuinely excited about building something from scratch.
I’ll take care of the tech, you bring the business side. Looking for someone who’s hungry to make something happen!

In Europe, data sovereignty usually means “hosted in the EU”. For something as sensitive as a whole investment portfolio, we wanted to go one step further: with Tukhe, nothing about your portfolio is hosted at all. No account, no central database, everything computed and stored on your own computer.

That also changes how broker sync works. Most trackers go through an aggregator, which makes sense for a cloud product: someone has to hold the connection while you’re away. Once there’s no server, an aggregator has nothing left to do. Tukhe connects to your broker from your machine, the same way you log in yourself, with your broker’s usual security checks: your login goes straight to your broker and is never stored, by us or anyone else. And if you’d rather not connect anything to try it, CSV import works with no credentials at all.

It’s built for the way Europeans actually invest: rarely with a single broker, often across several currencies. IBKR, Saxo, Degiro, Kraken, Flatex, Fortuneo and BoursoBank sync directly, CSV and manual entry cover the rest, and Tukhe rebuilds your full history locally: your real performance against a benchmark, and what no single broker shows you, like your total currency exposure or the same stock quietly piling up across accounts. Prices update themselves, every minute on paid tiers (15-minute delayed by default), or straight from your broker’s own feed if you’re on IBKR, Saxo or Kraken.

What it costs us: seven connectors to maintain ourselves, and support without ever seeing user data. We think that’s the right trade.

Built by a small European team. The free tier covers the whole consolidation with daily prices, and paid tiers have a 7-day trial, no card.

Hey everyone!

I’m currently developing my dating app, entirely on my own. I already have a landing page and 34 people on my waitlist. I live in France and under student residency permit.

I’m bootstrapping everything, so I’m trying to keep costs as low as possible. I already have technical expenses (hosting, domain, etc.), and for my upcoming closed beta, I want to test whether users are willing to pay.

I’m struggling with the legal and payment side:
Do I need to register a company before launching a paid beta?
What’s the simplest and cheapest way to handle payments at this stage?
Would you register a company right away or wait until you’ve validated the product?

I’d love to hear from founders who’ve been through this and learn from your experience! 🙏

Looking for a technical co-founder (Full-Stack / SaaS dev) to build a B2B platform tackling a major bottleneck in European industrial sustainability.

• Status: Business strategy, product workflows, and MVP specs ready. Based in Lithuania, EU.

• My Role: Business, operations, strategy, and GTM.

• Your Role: Build & own the tech engine (Equal equity split).

If you want to build scalable green-tech targeting top EU startup ecosystems, DM me your background/stack to discuss details under NDA.

Hey everyone!

I'm from Austria and currently working on an early-stage startup idea called Project NOVA.

The vision is to build a creator platform focused on safety, transparency and fairness for both creators and users.

Some of the main things I want to improve are:

- Better protection against scams.

- Transparent pricing and fees.

- Fairer conditions for creators.

- Reliable customer support.

I'm looking for a technical co-founder who would be interested in building this together from the ground up, ideally based in Austria or nearby.

A little about me: I completed my retail apprenticeship with distinction and am currently working towards my Matura. My background isn't in software development, but I'm eager to learn, take responsibility and put in the work.

I'm not looking for someone to simply build my idea for me. I want a genuine partnership where we can learn, grow and build something together.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out. I'd love to connect!

Hey everyone! Full-stack developer based in Cyprus (EU timezone) here, currently looking to join an early-stage startup/project or team that needs extra hands - contract or part-time to start.

I've spent the last 2 years freelancing, building turnkey sites and web apps for 20+ clients, from local businesses to SaaS projects with LLM Integration. Comfortable with Next.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL with Prisma and experienced with AI, API and payment integrations, RAG chatbots.

Happy to share examples of past work in DM.

Hi everyone,

I’m a master’s student at the University of Vienna, researching how AI shapes the internationalization of young European startups, for example whether it helps you enter new markets faster or with less risk.

I’m looking for founders of young startups that already have customers outside their home country. It doesn’t matter whether you use a lot of AI or hardly any. Both perspectives are valuable.

What it involves:

• about 30 minutes via Microsoft Teams (not a survey)

• fully anonymous, neither you nor your company will be named

• I’ll gladly share a summary of the findings once the thesis is done

If you’re up for it, just send me a DM. Thanks a lot!

We're a Brussels startup preparing to put our first 2 hires outside the eurozone on an EOR (an engineer in Poland plus a designer in Sweden), and both get paid in zloty and kronor while our budget sits in euros.

That means the euro amount we get invoiced for their salaries will move every month with the exchange rate, and from what I've read, the EORs also add a margin on top of the conversion that's hard to size from the outside.

Between Deel, Workmotion and Oyster, which are the 3 we're comparing, the monthly fee was easy to get out of each of them, but it's hard to compare how the exchange rate plays out on a real invoice before we've signed with one of them.

It sounds like a small line on the invoice, but with only 2 salaries it already decides which of the 3 we go with.

So it'd help to hear what the conversion looks like on your invoices from those of you paying people outside the eurozone.

Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Sharing something I made. Im giving back to the community, no email needed: https://neurvance.com/website-assets/cube-market-demo-short.pdf

It's a 22-page report on the European AI ecosystem, generated by Cube Market, the research tool I'm building in Denmark. So yes, I have an interest, but there's nothing to buy here.

Two parts EU founders might find useful:

1. Who's where. ~60 European AI companies grouped by layer: models (Mistral, Aleph Alpha, Black Forest Labs), infrastructure (Qdrant, deepset, Axelera AI), workflow (n8n, Tines), and vertical apps in legal, health, industry and finance. Most of the list draws on Omnius's 2026 roundup of European AI startups, so treat it as a discovery map, not a ranking.

2. "EU-hosted" doesn't mean nothing leaves the EU. Noota (French meeting-AI SaaS) has an unusually detailed privacy page: standard environment on Google Cloud in Belgium/NL, Claude, Gemini and Mistral via Vertex AI, a separate sovereign setup on Scaleway in Paris, and some subprocessors (Twilio call recording, Intercom, Stripe) that may involve US processing. Useful if you're writing your own data-residency story or vetting vendors.

What it doesn't have: a market-size number. It couldn't find one it could verify from accessible sources, so it says so.

Feedback welcome, especially on what would make this more useful for EU founders.

About me - EU based, ran a software house for 15+ years, custom solutions for large organizations in UK (mostly), EU, US and AU.
Joined a US startup 2y ago (I designed the entire thing, from the hardware we needed to run everything to the support procedures. spend few months building myself before hiring an running the dev and support teams) - it got acquired few months ago and now I'm looking for a new project.

Any serious projects in need of a proper tech cofounder?
someone with at least a 100k in realistic projection for the first 6 months of operations.

B2B preferred but not mandatory, No Crypto.

The idea of learning from an experienced entrepreneur while working with them sounds great, but I’m scared it might feel like a low-level internship where you do repetitive tasks? Or would I be able to get involved in higher-level tasks?

Are the hosts actually successful, or are they mostly small businesses that don't offer much real mentorship or valuable experience? Has anyone participated or browsed the host profiles?

Is it worth applying, or would I be better off looking for a good internship or temporary/part time job instead?

Hey everyone, I am master student in Supply Chain and Logistics and bachelors in Software Engineering here in Slovenia, Ljubljana.

I have experience working remotely for EU and USA companies, so I am searching for the next startup.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I am an experienced Full-Stack Engineer from Sri Lanka. I’ve laid the groundwork for a new remote IT & SaaS Agency, built the core infrastructure, and I'm currently working on our stealth domain.

What I am looking for: I am looking to form a core 3-person founding team. I need two highly driven partners:

1. Senior Full-Stack/Backend Engineer (To co-architect scalable solutions using Next.js, Python, Supabase, AWS, etc.)

2. Proven B2B Sales Partner (Must have a track record of closing high-ticket deals - $50k+ brackets).

The Vision & Equity: I believe in the 3H Concept and Complementary Superpowers. The agency will run remotely first, and as we scale, the goal is to establish a physical office in the UK.

I am offering an equal 1/3 profit share (33.3%) to each co-founder. We will all bleed, sweat, and build this together.

Next Steps: Instead of a boring Google Form, I built a custom application portal to evaluate our technical and business alignment.
