#NotOptional— Europe must attract more talent to startups. Policymakers, entrepreneurs and investors come together to make it happen.
👏 If implemented, this would be a step change in helping startups attract talent and investment. Let's go! @EZaharievaEU @EUCssrMcGrath @euinc_petition
Today, alongside @EUCssrMcGrath, we received the @EUInc_Petition—a blueprint for the 28th regime supported by over 13,000 signatures. This vital input will shape our Startup and Scaleup Strategy and the European Innovation Act. Excited to build EU global tech leaders together!
🇳🇱 The Netherlands ranks among the worst globally for startup stock option policies, making it hard for startups to attract and retain talent. Now there is a movement to change it. Sign a petition started by Dutch founders, operators and investors: flywheel.ing
Germany has done it! For years, 🇩🇪 has had the worst stock options policy. Yesterday, it passed a new legislation that catapults Germany into having one of the best employee ownership schemes, globally. After 5 years of #NotOptional, change is coming! cnbc.com/2023/11/17/ger…

🇬🇧 Congrats to the UK! Today it introduced a new scheme that opens up stock options to all startups. After 2 years of campaigning and working with the UK government, #notoptional delivers another win for European startups and their employees! notoptional.eu/en/news/articl…
