Maybe one day there will be an English-language version of this book, but as a former San Francisco/Silicon Valley resident (15 years!) now living in France, I found it really captured the beauty and insanity of entrepreneurial life in the Bay Area. We follow two Paris entrepreneurs as they leave France to pursue their startup dreams in San Francisco. Nothing goes as planned. But in saying that, it's because each has very different and unexpected reactions to life in San Francisco. And in portraying their misadventures, Vanier manages to show the good and the bad without passing judgment. Young entrepreneurs in France often come to me all-starry eyed, wanting to hear about San Francisco and to ask about moving there. I'm often conflicted because really, it could be the best worst thing they could do, and they should still do it anyway. In the future, I'll probably just tell them to read this book first.

la vie des startups romancée avec finesse et humanité, un joli récit sur l'entreprenariat.
2 personnages attachants, des hauts, des bas, des situations (un peu trop) réalistes, de la Silicon Valley, des licornes, de la levée de fond, du pitch et surtout une plume agréable à lire.
