Build an AI Native Startup from Scratch in Europe - 2025/2026

[Lucy Lee]

This post records the necessary details I think are useful if you want to start a company in the EU now.
Most of the experience here is universally applicable, and I will take special notes to tell you where it only applies to certain countries and conditions that I have.
It also serves a purpose to gather feedback, figure out where my blind spots are, and iterate. So welcome to leave your comment.
