This will bring $100 billions of VC money into EU economy during the next years, with $600 billions potential increase in GDP of EU.

Plan for Europe's Innovation Renaissance: The ‘EU Tech Supercharger’ Framework

Vision: Transform the European Union into a global innovation powerhouse by replicating the proven Y Combinator and Delaware corporate frameworks. This initiative will enable startups to easily access funding at all stages while ensuring seamless investor exits, mirroring the success of the U.S. system.


Key Proposal: The ‘EU Tech Supercharger’ Framework

A standardized, pan-European company formation and funding system that simplifies and democratizes capital raising, attracting both innovators and investors to the EU.


Core Components

  1. EU Startup Unified Company (EUSUC):

    • Introduce a new legal entity type across the EU, modeled on Delaware Inc.

    • Provide uniform, investor-friendly governance rules and tax incentives for startups.

    • Standardize founder equity structures, voting rights, and liquidation preferences across the bloc.

  2. EU SAFE Agreement (EU-SAFE):

    • Develop a Europe-specific version of the U.S. SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity).

    • Make pre-seed investments straightforward, reducing legal complexities and costs.

    • Create confidence for first-time investors and founders alike.

  3. Seamless Funding Lifecycle:

    • Pre-Seed: Establish EU-funded Y Combinator equivalents to back early-stage founders.

    • Seed: Attract angel investors and micro VCs with tax deductions and co-investment options.

    • Series A-C: Foster local VC networks and incentivize U.S. and global investors to join EU rounds.

    • IPO: Harmonize EU IPO regulations to align with NASDAQ standards, reducing barriers to public listings.

  4. Investor-Friendly Exits:

    • Simplify processes for M&As and secondary share sales across EU borders.

    • Ensure investors have clear, predictable exit routes through a unified capital markets framework.

  5. Pan-European Digital Registry:

    • Create a centralized online platform to register EUSUCs and manage funding documentation.

    • Integrate with blockchain for transparency and fraud prevention.


Benefits of the EU Tech Supercharger Framework

  1. For Startups:

    • Simplified company formation and fundraising.

    • Easy access to diverse funding stages across Europe.

    • Global compatibility with U.S. frameworks for cross-border scaling.

  2. For Investors:

    • Clear, uniform regulations for investing and exiting.

    • Higher confidence in legal and financial protections.

    • Increased access to promising startups across the EU.

  3. For the EU Economy:

    • Attracts global talent and capital.

    • Reduces brain drain by enabling startups to grow locally.

    • Positions the EU as a global leader in innovation and entrepreneurship.


Action Plan for Implementation

  1. Legislative Drive:

    • Collaborate with EU institutions to draft the EUSUC legal framework.

    • Secure support from member states, aligning it with existing EU corporate laws.

  2. Pilot Program:

    • Launch in 3-5 innovation hubs (e.g., Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Stockholm, Lisbon).

    • Partner with established accelerators and VCs to validate the framework.

  3. Marketing the Vision:

    • Create a global awareness campaign targeting founders and investors.

    • Showcase success stories to attract participation and build credibility.

  4. Feedback and Iteration:

    • Continuously refine based on pilot feedback and global market trends.

    • Establish a dedicated EU innovation task force to oversee improvements.
