📣 Important message ✉️ from France 🇫🇷. Olivier Favre-Bulle reports that many French Biotech startups face an imminent cash flow crisis 💵⌛️. Refinancing options are increasingly challenging, pushing these companies toward cost-cutting, emergency fundraising, or even halting operations. He suggests the following solutions 🔑 to help solve this crisis: 1) Enhanced support from specialized investors💰: Educate investors on the unique needs of the biotech sector, which requires long-term, structured funding to match its high-risk profile. 2) Sustainable tax incentives: Strengthen tax relief programs, such as the JEI program (https://lnkd.in/eTKT_CNE), and support initiatives from Bpifrance and other deeptech funds. 3) Innovation and resource sharing: Promote shared infrastructure and services to help reduce costs and capital requirements in the early industrial stages. With proper support🤝, French Biotech startups can continue to drive innovation and contribute to the future of health 💊 and industry in France and the rest of the world! #investment #biotechnology #startups 📣

Last week Renaud Heitz, cofounder of Exotec and I had the chance to discuss with Camille Wong about a topic that is very special to our heart at IRIS : how to make it in #Germany (when you are a #French startup) ? We’ve been supporting entrepreneurs across France and Germany for over 10 years and a solid part of job as an Early stage investor is to help them cross that boarder successfully. Despite all the obstacles ahead of them. We worked hard on this topic with many of our companies and here are a few tips we shared with Les Echos: - #Germany can prove a conservative market favoring local players: before thinking about expanding there, make sure you have a solid revenue that will reassure prospects and good early local contacts. Also, hiring a local industry expert as a visible team member, with proper network and credentials, is key to your upcoming success. You need the right #stamp - Rely on your local network: early clients, local integrators and partners, early employees who are well connected. They will open you doors and bring credibility much faster than your product and your French accent will. - There always comes the question of the #GmbH: to create one or to buy one? M&A is tough on early companies, takes some time and more energy. It can work in some cases (there are famous cases in the Next40). So, #whatsnext? #Germany? #IrisClub https://lnkd.in/ee-34wTh
