Start in Paris is the Parisian answer to the New York Tech Meetup. Each month, 5 startups get 5 minutes to demo a product to an audience, which then votes for the startups. Beforehand a guest speaker, most often an accomplished entrepreneur, speaks for 10 minutes, and afterward there's an open mic session.
Laurent Kretz and Jonathan Benoudiz, the founders of Submate, organize the event, which is already a huge success. Already startups that presented at SIP have gone on to raise venture funding. This month too, the venue was packed to standing room only. Attendees ask questions via Balloon, a twitter and text questions service.
It's a great community event that gives a good look at the early stage web scene in Paris which, as we've noted, is growing very impressively.
