Loved this launch so much! Wife and friends were mindblown when they saw it

check out Goodland, i was active there until recently and had great experience

Beautiful. Well done brother

Such an important insight. Do you find this to be true for VC-backed B2B startups as well (<200 employees)?

@WizLikeWizard i’m obsessed with this drop 🤯

@sashaorloff is the man with a plan

All that to say, lf you’re an awesome 🇫🇷 founder thinking of building an AI/ML company and looking for an investor who’s been there, you know where to find me :)

- The fundraising gap / arbitrage rapidly closing for top French founders with international ambitions

- Taboo around failure that historically slowed us down from starting ambitious companies hasn’t disappeared but a lot less true today.

- « Unfair » experience with constraints around GDPR, privacy, security, and broader regulatory risks are now a tailwind in building enterprise-grade AI products

- Alumni from late stage or public AI/ML players (HuggingFace, Dataiku and co) created a dense ecosystem for starting the next gen of great AI companies - founders, angels, early hires and benchmarks for VCs

- World-class, math-heavy education system will continue to yield many of the greatest technical and AI talents of our time

Beyond today’s headline about the $100M Seed round raised by Mistral 🇫🇷, I think many are missing why the French startup ecosystem will be a major source of breakthrough AI startups in the next 3-5 years. 1/5 🧵
