It looks like they are doing fine and well enough to attract the interest of some of "the best" companies around, so I don't worry too for them.

The event is hosted by the French Embassy, so French language seem appropriate.

I might also occur to you that many people speak more than one language :)

Well,

If the start-ups are to learn from the best, they WILL need to speak the language of the world - English, since not that many French speaking experts live in the SF Bay Area. :)

Hi Boggy,

As it says in the post, it is only for French startups, so obviously, they speak French. Why would one HAVE to know English?

OK,
I know, that after the election of Sarkozy, we Americans are supposed to be nice to the French, but ... "apply in French?". I hate to break it to all the Frenches, they may need know Spanish, they will HAVE to know English.
Sorry, couldn't resist.:)

P.S. For the French ladies...you are exempt. WE will master French for you.
