Founder Challenges
Why startups struggle with compliance
GDPR overwhelm
GDPR has 99 articles and hundreds of requirements. For a founding team focused on product-market fit, figuring out where to start feels impossible.
Investor due diligence
VCs increasingly require GDPR compliance documentation during due diligence. Missing it can delay or kill a funding round.
Zero legal budget
Privacy lawyers charge €300-500/hour. A basic GDPR compliance project costs more than most startups' entire legal budget for the year.
Why Marsstein
Enterprise compliance without the enterprise overhead.
You're building a product, not a compliance department. Marsstein gives startups the same compliance documentation that enterprises pay Big 4 consultants €50,000+ to produce — generated in days, not months, at a price that makes sense for seed-stage budgets. As you grow from 5 to 50 to 500 employees, the platform scales with you automatically.
Key Regulations

The compliance essentials for startups operating in or selling to Europe.

DSGVO
The German implementation of GDPR — stricter enforcement and higher expectations for companies based in Germany
ISO 27001 Path
Not required for startups, but increasingly expected by enterprise customers and investors as a trust signal
Frequently asked questions
When should a startup start thinking about GDPR?+
Day one. If you collect any personal data (email addresses, user accounts, analytics), GDPR applies. Starting compliant is much easier than retrofitting compliance later. Marsstein's starter workflow takes less than a week.
Do investors really check for GDPR compliance?+
Increasingly, yes. European VCs routinely include GDPR compliance in their due diligence checklist. US investors entering European markets also want to see it. Having automated, up-to-date documentation signals operational maturity.
What's the minimum GDPR compliance for a pre-seed startup?+
At minimum: a privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, records of processing activities, and DPAs with your cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, etc.). Marsstein generates all four in your first session.
Can I use Marsstein if I'm a solo founder?+
Absolutely. The platform is designed to be used without legal expertise. The AI agent guides you through compliance requirements step by step, generates documentation in plain language, and tells you exactly what to do.
