🎉 Stephanie Hospital joined Stripe to celebrate 10 years of Stripe in France. Alongside Arielle LE BAIL, Jérôme Tomasini, Pierre André (Wecasa) and Stanislas Polu (Dust), she took part in "L'addition, s'il vous plaît !", a conversation on the evolution of the French tech ecosystem over the past decade. What stood out from the discussion is how much has changed, and how much potential still lies ahead. Over the last ten years, France has seen the emergence of global technology champions, the rise of platform businesses, the growth of venture capital, and now a new wave of innovation driven by AI. Today, French entrepreneurs are building global category leaders, attracting international capital, scaling AI companies at record speed, and proving every day that Europe can produce world-class innovation. The rise of platform businesses, the maturity of the venture ecosystem, and now the acceleration of AI are not isolated successes. They are the result of thousands of entrepreneurs choosing every day to build ambitious companies from France and Europe. At OneRagtime, we are proud to have been part of this French Tech journey for almost ten years, backing ambitious founders and contributing to the ecosystem through Stephanie’s continued involvement as VP of France Digitale. The ambition, talent and entrepreneurial energy across the ecosystem have never been stronger. A big thank you to Arielle LE BAIL, Jérôme Tomasini and the Stripe team for the invitation and for bringing together such inspiring entrepreneurs and builders around the table. 👇 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eEjCxypc #FrenchTech #Entrepreneurship #VC #Innovation #OneRagtime
