Crazy or what?
"... written recently about French entrepreneurs leaving France because it was a terrible place to start and grow a business but ...... if your users, partners and possible future investors are here, you have to consider having at least a foot here."
And why do you think that is the case Einstein? The reason your users, partners and future investors are not in France is that France is no longer competitive.
- gommm 13y agoWell the size of the respective countries also has an impact... It's easier to localize once in english to target all the north american market compared to trying to localize for all the different EU countries, so targeting the US market makes sense.
- mavdi 13y agoI don't think in a digital market, size and language of a country matters. We see a lot of excellently successful Israeli start ups for instance. Small country, Hebrew language and different alphabet too. The fact of the matter is, bright young French people are leaving their country behind. I see many of them in London, and most of them are very successful here. France is no longer an enterprise centre where cool things happen and innovation is celebrated. Hopefully that will one day change.
