Nicolas Colin :

   everyone knows them in town because they're spending
   their time speaking about entrepreneurship to ignorant
   people gathered in salons
Well isn't that what TheFamily is ? https://www.thefamily.co/about/nicolas-colin

The problem is not the salon itself. Rather it's zombie entrepreneurs being all over it, and non-zombie entrepreneurs wasting time in it trying to catch up.

Neither is happening at The Family: our portfolio entrepreneurs are busy working on their product/their customers and are on stage only when it makes sense from their roadmap's perspective.

As for the zombie "entrepreneurs de salon", they are not allowed as speakers at The Family.

From TFA:

basically, yes. but it's fine, it's an economy model based on waste. A redistribution from the rich to the rich.
