To give some more context I've evaluated/I'm evaluating the following options:
- Italy: there are too many regulations and almost nothing can be done online practically. And the startup ecosystem is crap, ~60m people and 0 unicorns, the startup incubator in my city claims a 98% success rate or something like that. This is obviously not a good environment for starting a company.
- Estonia: I'm an e-Resident already but starting a company in Estonia as a foreigner requires going through a service provider, the most popular one seems to be leapin.eu and they don't support multi-shareholder companies, nor having employees outside of Estonia. Maybe there's a more appropriate service provider though. Plus Stripe is not available yet in the country, but I've heard the situation will change in 2019.
- US: it seems one needs somewhere between $500k to $1M to "buy" a green card, so relocating there could be challenging. And opening a company in a country to which I wouldn't be able to relocate to sounds like a dumb idea. There's Stripe Atlas which could be interesting though.
- UK: the startup ecosystem seems good, I've heard good things about the governmental websites, but I'd like to wait for the dust about brexit to settle before seriously considering this option.
