Thanks a lot @julien99 for discussing us in your newsletter! We still have quite a road ahead of us to, as you mention, successfully reinvent some of the VC dynamics, but we are learning a lot while doing so. Post in 🇫🇷

🤖 La tech détruit les emplois et remplace l'humain par la machine ? Il semble que certains entrepreneurs pensent le contraire 😉 On entend parler de plus en plus d'équipe d'onboarding. Kesako ? 🤔 Voir ça dans la Newsletter n°11 : thevcinsider.substack.com/p/…

Make things happen

If you want to break into venture, find ways to make things happen behind the scenes Share valuable info first. Write a detailed memo. Make a high quality intro. Help close a candidate. Anyone can tweet or speak on a panel. But very few people can make things happen.
