10 French startups disrupting the way you experience fashion online Liam Boogar-Azoulay
It may sound like a stretch to say that French people are the reference for fashion. But as we say, “il n’y a pas de fumée sans feu” (there’s no smoke without fire).
In addition to having a very prolific fashion sense, the French are also very creative when it comes to the shopping experience. The landscape of French fashion startups is flourishing those days: 6 of the 10 companies presented in this article closed a round last spring/summer season and the results of their investments are released now. Let’s open the catwalk: http://wp.me/p2OgMk-65W

We examine some of the early questions that an entrepreneur must ask before committing to a business: Will the business be a for-profit enterprise, a not-for-profit or something in between? What are the requirements and necessary resources for this model? What type of financing would be best to target — equity, debt, grant funding or a combination of all three?

Editor's Notes
Personal introduction
How do you define a brand today?
IS A BRAND A LOGO?
NO
IT’S NOT A BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES
ITS NOT A PRODUCT
A BRAND IS ABOUT PERCEPTION
IT’S ABOUT SENTIMENT
A BRAND IS ABOUT FEELINGS
DUE TO THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF MEDIA GIVING ANYONE A VOICE, IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE WHAT YOU AND YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM THINK DEFINES THE BRAND
IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THE OPINIONS OF YOUR CUSTOMERS – THAT YOU THINK YOU’LL TELL THEM WHAT TO LIKE AND THINK
YOUR BRAND IS WHAT THEY THINK IT IS – HOW THE CROWD DEFINES YOU
LET ME ASK YOU THIS – WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT McDonalds?
I THINK ABOUT BAD FOOD AND OVEWEIGHT KIDS
OR HOW ABOUT AFRICA?
EBOLA IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND
AND HOW ABOUT MY HOME TOWN OF ST. LOUIS?
UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF YOU NOW THINK ABOUT THE RIOTS IN FERGUSON
AND WHAT ABOUT SWEDEN? WHAT DO WE UGLY AMERICANS THINK WHEN WE THINK OF SWEDEN?
Beautiful blonde-haired people
OK, MAYBE ABBA TOO
THE REALITY IS THAT YOU NO LONGER CONTROL YOUR BRAND – THEY DO – YOUR AUDIENCE, YOUR CUSTOMER, YOUR JUDGE AND JURY
AND WITH THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY, YOUR BRAND CAN EMBRACE AND EMPOWER THOSE WHO YOU AIM TO REACH, AND TO HAVE THEM PARTICIPATE IN FRAMING YOUR VALUE PROPOSITION FOR OTHERS TO SEE
AND THAT’S BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED –
THE OLD MODEL WAS VERY SIMPLE – YOUR BRAND USED MEDIA, BOTH PAID AND EARNED TO REACH A WILLING PUBLIC
TODAY’S MODEL IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL ALTOGETHER, WHERE CONSUMERS AND BRANDS HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH POWER AS MEDIA IN BROADCASTING INFORMATION
AND THAT’S BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED –
THE OLD MODEL WAS VERY SIMPLE – YOUR BRAND USED MEDIA, BOTH PAID AND EARNED TO REACH A WILLING PUBLIC
TODAY’S MODEL IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL ALTOGETHER, WHERE CONSUMERS AND BRANDS HAVE NEARLY AS MUCH POWER AS MEDIA IN BROADCASTING INFORMATION
AND THUS OUR CHALLENGE BECOMES BREAKING THROUGH ALL OF THE CLUTTER AND NOISE….
AND IF WE WISH TO DELIVER A MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF OUR BRANDS…WE HAVE TO BREAK THROUGH IT
WHICH IS WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO HAVE PARTNERS / TO HAVE ALLIES
AMBASSADORS
ENTHUSIASTS
SOURCE DIVERSE CONTENT – SO IT’S NOT JUST YOU WHO IS CELEBRATING YOUR BRAND BUT OTHERS AS WELL.
APPEAL TO A BROADER AUDIENCE
AND WHEN YOU CAN DO THAT….THE CLUTTER FADES AWAY. AND IN ITS PLACE, YOU HEAR THE MESSAGE
BECAUSE IN THE END, BRANDS ARE JUDGED BY CONTENT DISTRIBUTED BY THEMSELVES AS WELL AS BY TRUSTED 3RD PARTIES.
WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO OUR CROWD – AND NOT ONLY DELIVERING CONTENT TO THEM, BUT RELYING UPON THEM FOR HELP IN CREATING AND DISTRIBUTING THAT CONTENT.
BRANDS LIKE DELL HAS DONE IT WITH DELL IDEA STORM – HARNESSING DEVELOPERS, TAKING THEIR OPINIONS AND INCORPORATING THEM INTO THEIR PRODUCTS
STARBUCKS HAS DONE IT WITH MY STARBUCKS IDEA – TAKING CUSTOMER SUGGSTIONS ON NEW PRODUCT OFFERINGS
AND ANY CITY OR REGION CAN DO IT – FROM UPPSALA TO LONDON TO A SMALL CITY. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HARNESSING YOUR ASSETS, CREATING CONTENT, AND EFFECITVELY PUSHING THAT CONTENT TO THE MASSES.
I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU 3 EXAMPLES OF HOW THIS HAS BEEN DONE – 2 OF WHICH I’VE BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH STARTING WITH RALLY ST. LOUIS, WHICH WAS FOCUSEDON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO IMPROVE THE PERCEPTION OF A REGION
I’VE LIVED IN ST. LOUIS FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS. IT IS A CITY WITH A REPUTATION CHALLENGE
AND I FIND THIS IS THE PERCEPTION OF THE REGION BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
PARODY NEWS ORGANIZATIONS SKEWER ST. LOUIS
AND WE QUALIFY FOR RATHER DUBIOUS DISTICTIONS
BUT THEN ON A LARK I WROTE A STORY FOR FORBES WHERE I WAS A CONTRIBUTOR FOR 5 YEARS – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND IT STRUCK A CHORD. AND ON MY TEAM WE STARTED THINKING – YOU KNOW WHAT – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAGNIFY THIS?
. AND ON MY TEAM WE STARTED THINKING – YOU KNOW WHAT – ST. LOUIS DOESN’T SUCK. AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAGNIFY THIS?
SO WE CREATED RALLY ST. LOUIS FOCUSED ON THESE 2 INITATIVES
A FIRST OF IT’S KIND PLATFORM
YOU CAN SUBMIT IDEAS FOR HOW TO IMPROVE THE REGION
VOTE FOR THOSE IDEAS IF YOU LIKE THEM.
AND WHEN THEY GET ENOUGH VOTES, THEY MOVE TO A FINANCING STAGE AND CAN BE FUNDED
PROJECTS FROM THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, PAID FOR BY THE PEOPEL
BUT THE PLATFORM CANNOT LIVE ON ITS OWN – IT NEEDED A MARKETING INFRASTRUCTUE THAT WE CREATED AROUND IT:
Digital centerpiece – FEATURING CONTENT AND IDEAS FROM THE CROWD
Compelling video content;
Social media engagement;
Public relations;
Paid media;

IN THE 1ST 6 MONTHS THE RESULTS WERE IMPRESSIVE
NOW WE’RE GOING TO VISIT THE U.S. CITY OF SEATTLE
THE CITY’S TOURISM HAD FALLS OFF AND THEY BELIEVED THEY NEEDED A BOOST TO BRING IN ANEW BREED OF TRAVLERS.

OVER A 10 WEEK PERIOD, THE RESULTS WERE IMPRESSIVE
AND LET ME END BY COMING BACK TO ST. LOUIS WHERE THE REGION HAS DONE WHAT A LOT OF CITIES ARE DOING THESE DAYS – HARNESSING THE POWER OF BEING A “STARTUP CITY” – KIDN OF THE NEW BLACK
St. Louis was a city of industry – major global brands and companies. But THAT WAS 100 YEARS AGO. MORE RECENTLY the economy has changed and in the past 10 years there had been a rather radical change
IT WAS BUILT AROUND STARTUPS, ENTREPRENEURISM – THE PROBLEM WAS THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT OUT SIDE OF ST. LOUIS. WE WERE GREAT AT TALKING TO OURSELVES
IT TAKES US BACK TO THIS MODEL – AND WE NEEDED TO GROW THE ECOSYSTEM AND ENSURE THAT VENTURE CAPITAL DOLLARS WERE FLOWING IN, NEW STARTUPS WERE LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES THERE, AND THAT CONNECTIONS WERE MADE WITHIN THE ECOSYSTEM
AND SO WE CREATED AN INFORMATION ENGINE CALLED ACCELERATE ST. LOUIS THAT WAS MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH 2 THINGS:
CONNECT THE PIECES OF THE ECOSYSTEM THAT WERE IN PLACE ASSUMING THAT STRENGTH IN NUMBERS WOULD PROPEL THE REGION FORWARD;
BROADCAST TO THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE REGION SO THAT MORE STARTUPS AND VENTURE CAPITAL WOULD MOVE INTO THE CITY
FIRST – CONNECT ALL OF THESE PIECES - CREATE A NETWORK OF RESOURCES
SECOND:
HARNESS THE THOUGHTS, EXPERTISE, PASSIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF THOSE WORKING IN STARTUPS AND RELATED ORGANIZATIONS IN THE REGION.
AND WE SHARED THESE EXTERNALLY THROUGH MAJOR MEDIA LIKE FORBES
ENTREPRENEUR
AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
AND THEN SHARED THAT CONTENT AGRESSIVELY THROUGH EMAIL, SOCIAL CHANNELS, AND WITH ADDITIONAL MEDIA
