Most of those aren't startups anymore by anyone's metrics. France has both a culture and systemic problem towards startups. It's been made abundantly clear to me when having a chat with UK and US people at conferences such as dot[0] that the environment here is quite hostile and successfully launching requires either solid government backing or a great amount of courage. Probably why everytime some news outlet here wants to talk about startups, each one of them hover way above ~5M€ turnover and 30+ employees.
