"How to get more French startups into YC?" by founders of MotionLead & Algolia

When Alexei Chemenda got into YCombinator—Silicon Valley's best accelerator— with MotionLead, it wasn't easy. At all. He had to go through the long & thorough apply process and the fierce alumni recommendations' hunt. To help others benefit from that experience, he decided to help French startups on their YC application and US market strategy by gathering 10 French YC alumni ready to help out by email ( frenchtoyc@gmail.com ). 👏🏾

We are thrilled to start this initiative IRL and welcome 2 great French founders for punchy Q&A: Alexei Chemenda (Co-founder of MontionLead, YC 2014) and Nicolas Dessaigne (CEO of Algolia, YC 2014). ✨

Join us, the event is free, totally open and in English… Don’t be shy, accents are cute! 😘
