Frequently asked questions
What is an EU-built startup?
An EU-built startup is a software company founded and headquartered in an EU member state. They operate under EU law, but EU headquarters alone does not remove exposure to the US CLOUD Act or FISA 702; ownership and hosting matter, and EU Alts checks both per listing where sources are cited. EU Alts lists 145 such companies across SaaS, cloud, analytics, developer tools, fintech, and more.
Are EU startups GDPR compliant?
EU-headquartered companies are subject to the GDPR by default. Whether one is also outside the reach of the CLOUD Act depends on its ownership and hosting, which EU Alts checks per listing. For stronger assurance, look for providers that publish a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA), list all subprocessors, store data exclusively in EU data centres, and name a Data Protection Officer. Every company on this page is headquartered in Europe.
How are startups listed in this directory?
Companies are added through a public submission form. The team verifies that each startup is genuinely EU-headquartered before listing it. The directory covers B2B SaaS and software tools — consumer apps and hardware companies are generally excluded. Listings are free.
What categories of EU startups are in this directory?
The directory spans more than 20 categories including cloud infrastructure, analytics, developer tools, authentication, email marketing, CRM, video conferencing, form builders, knowledge management, and fintech. You can also browse by US product — for example, EU alternatives to Google Analytics, Slack, GitHub, or Zoom.
