2 likes•1,070 views
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey of 171 French digital business startups. It finds that total revenues grew 37% between 2013 and 2014, with 43% generated abroad. The startups employed over 9,000 people in 2014, a 30% increase from the year before. Nearly half of employees have a master's degree or higher. While innovation support remains important, only 50% of startups utilized a major tax incentive for young companies. Close to half of equity is held by management and employees.
