### Manager in Investments, *Plug and Play*

### "Everyone develops a few favorites, or a little 'chouchou' as we say in French. That’s the purpose of this piece. Sixteen investors from 16 firms participated and shared some of the startups they personally like in France. These picks don’t necessarily reflect the companies they believe have the highest probability of success or the strongest projected performance. Rather, they are simply startups to keep an eye on in 2026 and beyond."
