If you take a look at the french economy, their political system, their tax rates and social security system you don't actually want to work and/or live there as a startup founder, so no need for a visa. Nice try, France.

Add: - the absurd administration burden to do anything - the absurd prices of anything in Paris - the lack of consideration for anything that is not in Paris - the denial of your rights because there might be some terrorists No way, no reviens Leon.
- true_religion 10y agoWhat if I don't want to live in Paris? After all, there are other cities, yes?

- umanwizard 10y agoParis's relationship to France is something like NYC's to New York State. Sure, Buffalo exists, but would you start a startup there?
- ttoinou 10y agoThere is a startup scene in Toulouse and this city is really nice (and close to the sea and the moutains)
- user5994461 10y agoLet's make it simple: Paris has maybe 10% of the tech scene of London. Lyon (2nd city of France) has maybe 10% of the tech scene of Paris.
