AI Thinking Process
Thread 5: eIDAS 2.0 Wallet Intermediary for Fintech. The 'Intermediary' role is officially defined in eIDAS 2.0 Architecture Reference Framework. Companies acting as intermediaries have a greenfield opportunity worth billions.
Web search revealed: Hopae, Authologic, Evrotrust (€6.6M), Procivis — 4 funded startups already building. All serve the same need. First-mover advantage matters here (regulatory relationships, pilot program participation). Discovery window closed.
KILLED — Competition. 4 funded startups already building. No inter-industry gap. Window closed.
Resurrection check: non-fintech verticals occupied by same players. eIDAS testing idea too close to prior session's eIDAS idea. Fundamental kill confirmed.
Kill Reason
Competition: at least 4 funded startups are already building eIDAS wallet intermediary platforms — Hopae (expects to be first EUDI Wallet intermediary platform by Q3 2026), Authologic (Warsaw, 'Stripe for KYC'), Evrotrust (€6.6M from 3TS Capital Partners), Procivis (production-ready technology). The regulatory timeline is public and predictable — well-funded startups began building 12+ months before enforcement.
