Online businesses rely on a number of third-party vendors that supply different kinds of services, from emails to storage and computing, analytics and more.
This document lists companies that offer different kinds of services. When selecting a vendor, the following criteria were evaluated in order of preference.
- They are based and/or incorporated in the EU. As Europeans we feel EU companies have much to offer in the digital space. US-based tech giants have already enough market share.
- They are privacy-friendly. We value privacy, and feel our vendors should as well.
- They offer EU-based hardware infrastructure. This is important to simplify GDPR compliance and feeds into the previous point.
- They provide high-quality services at competitive rates. Newborn businesses can't afford to burn a lot of cash on vendor subscriptions.
