It was Seedcamp week in Paris, with the first Paris Mini Seedcamp on the 24th. I went to the special Seedcamp edition of the OpenCoffee Club meeting the next day, as well as the first Paris TechCrunch Talk in the afternoon. The subject of the latter was the state of entrepreneurship in France, and there was a lot of discussion about what French startups need to do to go global.
One of the suggestions from the first panel, composed of successful French entrepreneurs: Get a global name. In other words, they were encouraging French startups not to choose names only francophones could understand or pronounce. Good advice!
So run your list by speakers of several different languages. In a city like Paris, they’re not hard to find.
