Add to basketWhen the most consequential decisions about money, speech, and identity are written in code and enforced by platforms, the traditional map of power begins to blur. The Sovereign Startup shows how small states exploit these shifting fault lines, turning startup ecosystems, licensing regimes, and experimental institutions into tools of foreign policy. Instead of treating them as marginal actors, Eitan Rosengale places small jurisdictions at the centre of contemporary economic statecraft, tracking how their rules and reputations travel through boardrooms, conferences, and treaty negotiations.
Spanning cases from digital identity to fintech hubs and platform regulation, the book develops an analytical toolkit for understanding how startup ecosystems become instruments of diplomacy. It explains why some experiments in digital residency or fintech regulation gain international traction while others attract only fleeting interest or damaging scrutiny. Along the way, Rosengale maps the evolving landscape of regulatory competition, showing how small states balance the lure of mobile capital against the slow accumulation of reputation risk. Readers encounter founders who double as informal envoys, civil servants who think like product managers, and platform executives who must treat tiny jurisdictions as serious counterparties.
Written for policy-makers, founders, investors, and students of international political economy and innovation policy, The Sovereign Startup avoids both boosterism and fatalism. It offers a vocabulary and set of frameworks for evaluating which niches truly enhance sovereignty strategies and which simply outsource control to more powerful actors. By the final chapter, readers will be able to look at licensing decisions, sandbox announcements, and platform disputes and see not isolated headlines, but a coherent struggle over who sets the rules of a deeply networked world.
