I have selected 2 early-stage opportunities, both based in Spain but with founders of various EU nationalities, and provided a brief analysis.
š HQ: Barcelona, Spain

šØ Problem: Companies are swamped by hundreds of fast changing laws and regulations, spending millions on lawyers and consultants and still can't keep up.
