Some reasons to build your startup in web3 🧵

[Amaury Sepulchre @amaury_74]

Over the last few days I have heard a lot about @ycombinator companies closing their seed round only with angels and small funds (250k checks), up to 3-4 m$. This is a really new trend. What does this means for startups and seed funds ? Few thoughts on that 👇

On aime se plaindre de la RATP, mais après deux ans d'expatriation rentrer en France et découvrir le chargement de la carte Navigo directement sur mobile, c'est salutaire !
File d'attente traditionnelle du 1 er du mois évité ! Merci! @RATPgroup @ClientsRATP

@albanvtl @bouyguestelecom Hallucinant... Une boîte du CAC qui viole la propriété intellectuelle... Je n'aurais pas cru ça. @MartinBouygues, vous devriez regarder ça...

[Christine Lagarde @Lagarde]

Extraordinary times require extraordinary action. There are no limits to our commitment to the euro. We are determined to use the full potential of our tools, within our mandate.

[Matt Turck @mattturck]

New York has become the new center of gravity of European tech.

London and SF are still relevant, but the new generation of European startups with global ambitions now overwhelmingly chooses New York as they scale. Started as a trickle, now a full-on flood.

[Elizabeth Yin 💛 @dunkhippo33]

Some trends in VC right now - it's an interesting time of bifurcation and money:

1) At the early stages (call it pre-A or the whole "seed range"), I'm seeing lots of bifurcation. On one hand, in the Silicon Valley, for some founders, it's never been an easier time to raise.

[Index Ventures @IndexVentures]

Nearly 100M people in Europe work in small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Yet these are the very same businesses that have been most poorly served by software. Not any longer, as the story of @PersonioHR shows, @martinmignot writes.

French tech is booming: we had $3.1 billion in fundraising in 2017, $4 billion in 2018 and probably around $5.5 billion in 2019

President Emmanuel Macron just announced several actions to support the French tech ecosystem :

[Achkan Chavoushi @Achkan]

- The creation of two indexes to showcase the most promising french start-ups: Next 40, French tech 120
- The creation of a fast-track administrative system for these start-ups
- Institutional investors have committed to investing $5.5 billion (€5 billion) in start-ups

Optimism, ambition, and recruiting. Will this recipe work for your startup too? Yes. In fact you could make the case that it has been the recipe for all great organizations.
