I talk about a lot of the tax credits towards research, reductions in labor taxes for startups, and debunk a few employment myths &#8211; I also am very honest about the elephants in the room.<\/p>\n<p>The other aspect I like to focus on is &#8220;why should I start my company in Paris?&#8221; aspect &#8211; while I don&#8217;t necessary believe that you should relocate to build a company, each city has its own cultural advantages &#8211; if you&#8217;re planning on selling to (luxury) brands, Paris isn&#8217;t a bad place to put down roots. There are also some cities where building a company is just not possible (or wise), and so having the network, infrastructure, and reputation of the world&#8217;s most visited city isn&#8217;t too bad, either.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t pretend Paris is the best city (<a title=\"Sorry VentureVillage, numbers don\u2019t lie \u2013 Paris outranks Berlin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/2012\/11\/20\/paris-outranks-berlin-again\/\">#11, bitches<\/a>), but it is definitely worth the time to know what&#8217;s around you &#8211; after all, that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m going to Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ll be in Berlin, feel free to reach out to me on twitter %CODE1%, otherwise please <a href=\"http:\/\/breakfastwiththerudebaguette.eventbrite.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up for the event<\/a>\u00a0&amp; %CODE2% the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very excited to announce that Rude Baguette will be giving its second General Assembly class later this month in Berlin, entitled &#8220;a\u00a0p\u00e9tit dejeuner with the Rude Baguette.&#8221; Similar to the course I gave in London at the end of last year, I will giving an intro course to the Paris Startup Scene &#8211; everything<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":8449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10564],"tags":[1637],"class_list":["post-8439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tech-2","tag-berlin"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
