Turing Fest reposted this
European tech has been at a structural competitive disadvantage for too long. Founders, teams, customers, investors have long since been distributed across the continent - it is time that corporate, legal, fiscal structures reflected that reality. If we are all serious about building a European tech industry that fulfils its rich potential and competes on a global scale, EU Inc is a key step in the right direction. Otherwise we're going to keep losing our best founders and companies to the US. If you haven't yet, check out more and get involved here: https://www.eu-inc.org/
There are people who make fun of Europe on twitter for cheap clicks, and there are folks who actually try to change things. The folks behind The EU Inc Petition definitely belong to the second category! And they’ve now brought 13,000 of us behind their push for a single pan-European startup entity. The EU-Inc. petition was just delivered to the European Commission calling for immediate inclusion in the European Commission 2025 Work Programme. Tech leaders, VCs and political figures all signed this call for immediate change, with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Commissioners Michael McGrath and Ekaterina Zaharieva separately voicing their commitment to EU-Inc in 2025. Along with the petition, an industry blueprint for EU-Inc or the “28th Regime” was submitted to help kick-start change. In the blueprint: 🇪🇺 A standardized company structure across the EU that accounts for corporate governance, capital, and share capital maintenance rules 🇪🇺 A fully digital registry for companies with standardized investment documents 🇪🇺 A new open source investment document called EU-FAST that was inspired by convertible instruments like SAFEs and BSA AIRs 🇪🇺An EU-wide employee share option scheme with standardized rules These may sound technicalities but they would be absolute game changers for European entrepreneurs - to help them scale, attract talent and capital across the continent, and succeed on the global stage. If we want to see startup growth in Europe, we need to keep innovators, entrepreneurs and employees within the continent — not lose them to other regions where there are fewer barriers to growth. In the words of Ursula Von Der Leyen: “ A startup from California can expand and raise money all across the United States. But our companies still face way too many national barriers that make it hard to work Europe-wide with way too much regulatory burden.” This is a big moment in a critical fight. To EU Inc’s leaders, Andreas Klinger Philipp Herkelmann Simon Schaefer Iwona Biernat and Index’s own Vojtech Horna thank you for all you’ve done so far for European founders. Now let’s make the 28th regime a reality!

Turing Fest next event is May 2025, but here’s a networking habit that works for ANY conference All you need are these - A pen - A mini book - Interstellar Soundtrack - And a list of attendees/speakers If you have access to a list of speakers, figure out who you’re planning to meet. Never rush it, just a minimal note with a few lines of who they are, when they’d probably be available and what they’d talk about. Got an attendee list? Grab a notebook. Make a new list for attendees. Works for smaller conferences where you’d probably meet anyone just my looking a few steps away 📸 I made this 3 weeks back and ticked the boxes of most speakers a few days later. Next up, send one personalised follow up invite every other day - been on this for ages
