The French Startup Ecosystem Is Toxic
A Startup Isn’t a Smaller Version of a Large Company
Startup \ˈstärt-ˌəp\ - noun
1. A STARTUP IS A TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION IN SEARCH OF A SCALABLE, REPEATABLE AND PROFITABLE BUSINESS MODEL.
See also: A scalable startup is designed by intent from day one to become a large company. Scalable startups aim to provide a tremendous return to their founders and investors.
Applying rules of established companies to startups is irrelevant, distracting and clearly damaging while growing and managing a startup.
TheFamily
TheFamily
For the past 20 years, the French ecosystem has been focusing on SME resulting in a nonproductive mechanism designed to enhance the emergence of massively successful startups. The Government implements top-down policies and infrastructures that create too many walking deads.

The Impact of TheFamily on the Ecosystem
Things are always breaking, and they will break at TheFamily. Our strategy is to create bottlenecks and then hitting them hard. That may sound irresponsible, but in practice, it's the way most complex systems get optimized.
