@al_banban @Anne_Hidalgo @limebike @dott_fr @tierscooters @Paris @David_Belliard @getapony Incompréhensible décision. On a un très bel acteur FR, soutenu par de beaux investisseurs FR, qui implique tous les citoyens dans son projet d'une façon on ne peut plus constructive. Mais non, restons plutôt dans ce cercle vicieux qui nous empêche de créer des champions FR...

@NicolasDufourcq @Bpifrance @ST_World Super mais à côté de ça, il y a de gros bugs sur la gestion de prod de masques!Plusieurs sociétés FR qui ont sacrifié leur activité initiale pour produire des masques se voient refuser l’homologation sans raison!(Je peux donner + de détail en mp) Comment faire pr résoudre ce bug?

Here is the 3rd VC19 Barometer by Chausson Finance: https://t.co/4an9urJ9cl
Is the positive mindset still there? Or is it getting more serious? Thanks to the new VCs who joined: @Accel, @IndexVentures, @northzoneVC, @eventuresVC...

6/ => only half of them might be able to write a TS ; the others would be interested, but as followers. Cool, but not helpful if you don't get an actual TS

==> now it’s all about getting the 2-3 remaining VCs to write you a TS with the best conditions.

1/ About 1st #fundraising with #VCs. Just discovered those interesting insights from @ycombinator . Truth be told: without a proper #fundraising process, you get less money for more dilution. Wow.

[Laurence Hémery @LauHmy]

5/ => we don't stop until we have reached at least 20 meetings
=> ~half will probably carry on with a few questions and/or meetings
=> another half will drop during deep dives: you're down at ~5 VCs

Reducing churn is key for SaaS companies in this period:
pausing or downgrading a customer is much better than losing it

@mapstr_app Haha, yes, please ! Can’t wait to fill my map again :)

[Laurence Hémery @LauHmy]

@daphnivc @LundborgCecilia @MachaWeb @pymeerschman @bibicheri @zoov_official @ChaussonFinance Thanks so much for inviting us @LundborgCecilia ! you really invented a brilliant event format, loved it! And sorry for the "no" , it really was a great pitch, but having only "yes", would have made it to good to be true, wouldn't it? ;)

[Laurence Hémery @LauHmy]

@andrewchen .@SebastienLe_Roy for the great operating knowledge he shares as VC with founders on medium https://t.co/9BcrrUC8ii + beyond that he at @serenavc succeeded with his colleagues in implementing a #VCplatform that founders & C-levels really use :)
