The European Commission 28th regime draft proposal got leaked. So we analyzed it and compared it with the original EU-INC policy proposal.
The EU-INC initiative gave the EC a clear, uncompromising roadmap for a 28th regime that could genuinely rival Delaware. Then the EC implemented its own version, compromising on the most critical parts. In this episode we compare the gaps and tell you everything you need to know about where European startup policy actually stands.
What we cover:
What the EC got right: zero capital requirements, shares without nominal value, and SAFEs finally working in Europe
The ESOP compromise: dry taxation is gone, but capital gains treatment is still fragmented across 27 member states
Article 12 and the board governance trap: how deferring to national law creates a race to the bottom
The missing court: why no unified dispute resolution system means institutional investors will keep forcing European founders to flip to Delaware
Whether a truly frictionless European startup ecosystem is even legally achievable without rewriting the foundations of the EU itself
The blueprint asked for a house. The EC approved the kitchen and removed the roof.
