💡 Key Feedback from Jean de La Rochebrochard (LinkedIn)

During the feedback session, Jean de La Rochebrochard shared three powerful lessons that resonated deeply with us and many founders in the room:

✅ “La crédibilité, c’est le client.” → Credibility comes from the client.
✅ “Le plus dur, c’est le premier. Après, c’est moins difficile.” → The first customer is the hardest — then it gets easier.
✅ “Pousser, pousser, pousser. On ne lâche rien.” → Push, push, push. Never give up.

These insights perfectly capture the entrepreneurial spirit driving French startups today.
