I generally just search around.

Btw: if you are interested in this, note that it often isn’t clear cut where a company is from.

For example: https://european-alternatives.eu/product/zitadel bills itself as a swiss company, and it might technically be one, but it looks very much like a general SF startup to me (business address in sf, all investors are US based)

Zitadel CEO here :-)

Zitadel started in Switzerland under the name CAOS AG and has still a lot of its operations in Europe. For our US go to market strategy we incorporated Zitadel Inc. which operates out of SF where I also tend to be.

Happy to share more if interested

    Thanks for the clarification! Does the AG still exist?

    And I think this speaks to my point that it isn’t a simple yes/no question :)

      It absolutly does https://zefix.ch/en/search/entity/list/firm/1391256 :-)

      The matter is definitely more complex than yes and no... my general stand has been that jurisdiction matters a lot when you store and process data from customers, like many cloud services do. iIt matters less if you can take a software and self-host it.

    Pitty that it only operates on Gcloud. Makes it not European

      I hear you! Right now that is a constraint even if we have regions in EU and Switzerland.

      You can easy deploy Zitadel to Hetzner though ;-)
