Thanks for the details, and for investigating the ParisTech incubator. > He also told me about other incubators that I'll visit, and suggested > to contact N.Gaume (Mimesis) who according to him is with an efficient > and well situated incubator, so it's worth checking out. Yup, Paris Innovation. That's where Rue89 was, and I think there is another game there aside from Black Mamba, though I can't remember which one. Could be a good environment, but it's not easy to get there. Could be a good idea to meet Gaume btw - and not just for the incubator (not sure we'll actually need one at the end), but he may have a few good advices.
