The EU Withdrawal Button: 15 Days to Comply

Welcome to the first issue of The European Operator.We are Andrea and Valentin. Between us we have spent years inside EU payments and e-commerce, selling payment solutions at one of the world's largest payment providers and working across multinational sales roles throughout Europe. We have sat in hundreds of conversations with founders and operators dealing with the same problems: VAT complexity, checkout abandonment by country, GDPR obligations, cross-border logistics costs, and local payment method requirements that vary completely from market to market. Whether you are building a brand in Europe, expanding a US business into European markets, or a UK operator navigating post-Brexit complexity, this newsletter is for you. We built it because the intelligence anyone needs to sell successfully in European markets does not exist anywhere in English. Starting today, it does. Every Tuesday. Free.
