Any tips for a 2 person European company. One founder based in Amsterdam, the other in London. We are close to setting things up, some input from other founders would be great

Probably a UK limited liability partnership would be an option .

But you have to investigate how the Dutch will treat it .

You could apply for a advance tax ruling with the Dutch tax authorities before doing anything

Why LLP over Ltd?
Because it's transparent so you pay income tax ( which is lower than corp+dividend taxes especially at lower incomes ) .

Later on when you scale, you can convert the LLP into an LTD.

Also you might avoid exit taxes as it is an partnership , if you move between countries.

Also there is basically no information in the post besides 2 founders in different countries.

Incorporate in one of the two countries. If you're serving EU, with GDPR it might be easier to do Netherlands instead of the UK.
