How can the French government pay you to start your business? France offers massive startup subsidies, including giving back 50% of your R&D costs and providing up to €1 million or more in funding before you ever speak to a VC. In this interview, expat entrepreneur Gabriel Cian reveals why France may be the best country in the world to launch a tech startup, from its deep pool of cost-efficient engineering talent to the legal "tricks" the elite use to navigate its complex tax system. This is a founder's guide to the traps and hidden treasures of building a company in France. Gabriel Cian is the founder and CEO of GetEmail.io, a technology based on AI and Big Data that helps sales & marketing professionals find the professional email address of anyone on Earth.
