No, I don't think there is an easy solution. It is expensive for the foundry (TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Intel, Samsung, etc.) and it is also expensive for the EDA companies that create all the necessary tools (Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor).

Even if the EDA companies were to provide all of the tools for free, the startups would be facing the high costs from the foundries.

But to tell you the truth, there is not much incentive to design in the newest node if you don't have money to spend. The technology not only is expensive but it is also unstable.
