No. I work as an advisor for a ton of startups and I a co-founder myself. There is no better place in Europe to be than the UK.

Out of interest - why do you consider the UK to be the best place for startups?

Perhaps, for now. If hard trade barriers are in place soon that status will change dramatically.

Trade barriers won't really affect digital service companies as they're not moving physical goods around.

Digital services are affected by other types of regulation though which won't really change as a result of Brexit (e.g. if you're a British online accounting company selling a version optimised for German companies).

This is an untested assumption if ever I saw one.
Regulatory barriers in many areas will affect companies much, much more than a simple fee to move goods
