DOGE Europe
Investigate. Build. Ship.
A community of investigators and builders working for government efficiency — without waiting for government permission.
We dig into failed projects, expose waste, and identify what citizens actually need. Then we build it. No procurement processes. No 3-year tender cycles. No €75M consulting contracts.

Deep-dive into government failures, follow the money, expose the waste.
