DOGE Europe
Investigate. Build. Ship.
A team of young builders and investigators with the moral ambition to fix what's broken in government — instead of extracting from it.
A department that runs like a startup. We take ownership. We don't outsource to Deloitte, subcontract through 4 layers, and hope for the best. We find the biggest problems, build the solutions, and ship them to millions of citizens.
Our Approach
How we turn government failures into working solutions
Recruit
Find young builders and fixers with moral ambition, not Deloitte consultants.
Investigate
Deep-dive into the biggest government failures, follow the money.
Build
Take ownership, create solutions that work, run like a startup.
Ship
Deploy to millions of citizens who are already waiting.
