@Jason
sounds like you may need a trip to France sometime soon, we’ll happily show you a few more recent unicorns 😂
Remind me again of the breakout startups to come out of France in the past 20 years?
The last unicorn I remember was, I believe, that Flash Sale site from two cycles ago: Vente Privee started in 2001
Be careful what you wish for California!
