In Tech consulting, you can pass of all your regulations and cost to your client.

In fact consulting thrives exactly because of government overreach.

Startups are complete opposite of Consulting

Dunno about you guys, but we're not charging doing payroll, management or regulatory compliance to our clients unless it's specifically requested/required by the client.

You could say "oh but that cost is bundled into your rates", but that cost is also bundled into your product fees for a product start-up, so..?

We don't have to do r&d documentation but we also don't get r&d reimbursements. Not a lot else different from a back-office perspective.

Huh? If you're a startup you still have to absorb regulatory costs somehow.

If they're not getting passed on to the customer, they are getting picked up by the VCs. This is pretty normal.
