Ten years ago, Stripe opened its first offices in France. A decade later, the French ecosystem has transformed: iconic companies have reinvented themselves, a new generation of startups has emerged, and platforms have enabled hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs to launch their ventures. We brought together some of the figures who have contributed to this transformation, over a lunch.
The first of two conversations focus on the emergence of the French tech ecosystem with:

Stéphanie Hospital (Founder and CEO, OneRagtime)
Pierre André (Cofounder and COO, Wecasa)
