MYTHS BUSTING about the French 🇫🇷 🥖 and how they spend their summer 1️⃣ The Olympics! Most Parisians already left Paris a while ago because the Olympics have a huge impact on our daily lives, how we commute, etc. So most non-French people I know will experiment more of the Olympics than the "locals". 2️⃣ Two months off! We don't take two months off. I mean, maybe if you're a teacher and your students are on vacation... but no, we don't have unlimited PTO! Also we're not necessarily big fans of the "côte d'Azur" , so Cannes, Nice etc, are places most of my American friends know, but I've never been for instance. 3️⃣ Wait... they're not necessarily staying in Europe?! Most entrepreneurs I know actually try to find a quiet place to work from, or spend the summer in the US. I've done it twice since starting Lago, and this summer (I actually moved in the Bay, so I'm already here!), we're flying part of the 🇫🇷 team to work with the 🇺🇸 team here. A pretty active and fun summer in perspective at Lago!! Also, I'm so happy to join and speak at in-person events in the coming weeks (nothing beats 'in-person'), we're still brewing additional things, but you can meet us at: 1️⃣ Y Combinator Open-Source Meetup - July 26th, San Francisco 2️⃣ Startup School by Y Combinator, look at this line up! 🤩 I'm so excited - July 27th, San Francisco We'll prep a fireside chat with Nicolas Dessaigne about our journey Lago (YC, pivot, EU vs US, all of it!), can't wait to connect/catch with other founders: Marty Kausas 🦔 james hawkins Christina Cacioppo Han Wang and many more! 3️⃣ Fintech Devcon by Moov - August 8th, Austin. Two years ago we were honored to be featured there by Joel Taylor from GitHub, so it's quite special to be speaking there this year! If you're wondering, we're still hiring and ping Alison Eastaway for more info!
