French people and startups

In September 2019, Emmanuel Macron announced the goal of 25 French unicorns by 2025. This ambition was achieved 3 years earlier than anticipated with Exotec joining the highly privileged ranks of the startup elite. While the President of the Republic made this a highlight of his five-year term, to what extent do the French feel concerned by the topic? What is their perception of startups and their impact on society? To answer these questions, Episto, a specialist in social media studies, surveyed 1000 French individuals on 4 key topics: image, usage, employment, and investment.

What you will find:

• Knowledge and perception of startups by the French
• The most recognized and utilized startups
