Tech Founders Have to Play Guessing Game With EU Rules — Masha Moisseyeva (DutchBasecamp & Ogni)

In this interview Masha Moisseyeva, Founder of Ogni and Managing Director of DutchBasecamp, explains how overlapping EU regulations create confusion, friction, and costly uncertainty for startups and scale-ups.

From the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to NIS2, companies often face multiple frameworks at once – with unclear definitions, vague timelines, and conflicting obligations.

Masha shares how this ambiguity forces founders into a trade-off between guessing their way through compliance or burning precious resources on legal support. She also explains how Ogno uses AI to help companies navigate regulatory complexity – and why harmonisation, not deregulation, is what Europe urgently needs.

This conversation is part of CCIA Europe’s #UnlockEUInnovation campaign, featuring European startup leaders explaining why regulatory simplification cannot wait – and what’s at stake if it doesn’t happen.
