It was 2014, and I was invited to this VC event in London with some friends after a long day. So organised by French Tech London, they say. So intrigued, I listen to this crew of french accented English speakers. Five minutes later, I am getting hooked. 

Finally found the french community I missed ten years ago.

Perhaps because I grew up in the far east part of France and not in Paris, web entrepreneurship in the 2000s wasn’t outstanding. So it pushed me out of France and sought other horizons. But this keynote I was listening to showed me a panel of 5 entrepreneurs, all successfully representing the best of what France released as startups in the last ten years, and learning from their experience in 40′.

I loved the style, the attitude, the content, and the drive. But I genuinely thought, who are those people behind French Tech?
