About
We built this because we needed it.
After scaling products across 10+ European countries, dealing with everything from surprise e-invoicing mandates to last-minute accessibility requirements to the uniquely German art of the Impressum, we realized something obvious:
Every US company expanding to Europe hits the same walls. And every time, they discover them too late.
The information exists. It's scattered across regulatory databases, legal blogs, government portals in 24 languages, and the heads of local compliance teams who may or may not remember to tell product about the new rule.
Sweepline brings it all together, connects it to your actual product, and keeps it current. The problem isn't that EU regulation is unreasonable. It's that it's unreasonably hard to find, track, and act on.

Close to a decade leading product at leading European B2B startups, scaleups, and corporates, shipping e-commerce across 20+ markets. A front-row seat to what EU regulatory complexity does to a roadmap when you find out too late.
Sweepline is the tooling that didn't exist back then.
"Every time we launched a new market, compliance was the thing that bit us — always later than it should have, always more expensive than it needed to be. I didn't build this for the legal team. I built it for the product manager who just got handed a launch date and a list of countries."
