This is my first time in Paris. A lot of incredible people, a lot of great entrepreneurs. Super excited to be here and understand, you know, what the ecosystem is like here.
The startup ecosystem here in France is pretty exciting. It's probably the most exciting entrepreneurship space in Europe. Paris is growing like crazy, attracting very, very talented people. Venture capital funds are also getting bigger and bigger here in France. So I feel like we are equal compared to London and to Berlin, which have been more advanced in terms of startups in the last few years now. And that's only meant to keep growing in the next years. The entrepreneurship ecosystem is amazing, especially here in Station F, which is one of the world's biggest startup campuses. It's an amazing space. I recommend anyone check it out. It's great.
