Simplify and speed up company incorporation processes by removing notarial requirements and overlapping authorities to reduce bureaucratic burden and delays.
“Incorporating in Italy can take weeks due to notarial requirements and rigid registry processes; Overlapping authorities: founders must deal with multiple entities - Chamber of Commerce, multiple Tax Authorities, Labor Inspectorate - all with different timelines and requirements.”

Make labor laws less rigid and improve regulation of stock options for unlisted companies to help startups build teams and attract talent.
“Hiring is expensive and highly regulated, making it very difficult for startups to build teams and scale; Stock option regulation opacity: stock options are poorly regulated for unlisted companies, making it difficult to attract and retain talent.”

Simplify tax laws and reduce compliance costs to lower uncertainty and administrative burden for startups.
“Constantly changing tax laws cause uncertainty, discouraging long-term planning; High compliance costs: VAT and corporate tax filings make it harder for early-stage companies to focus on product and growth.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
