Znappit goes West #1

Znappit goes West #1 

Our flight was split into very simple activities : eating, watching movies and playing the Startupdeck app : An app that gives you random questions that could be asked at the YC interviews and you have 15 sec to answer it...#stillprogresstomake

After an 11 hours flight we noticed that Boris one of the Famous lead mentor @LeCamping Season 4 was just 2 rows behind us. We also met Jide that had given some class @LeCamping #LeCampingMafia.

The Border control was intense and it was the first time in our life that we check the box The main purpose of my stay is Business #proud 

Adrien got a car and we moved to the L'atelier offices, but since it is a DayOff in France and in the USA there was no one ! #fail

After cruising downtown we had a break in a small random coffee. We called @alice_gillet  to ask if she could host us...lucky we were when she told us her adress was exactly 20 meters from the coffee we were at. #lucky

Evening was focus on organizing the week : work on the demo, set up the next meetings contact startupers and share a great Paleo meal with our hosts. Thank you @alice_gillet @RomainNervil ! #MillerBeer #PaléoPollo

Tuesday Morning was sportive: great run in the GoldenGate Park #Nicojusthadabreackfast

We have a amazing lunch/brainstorm with Boris at Viadeo's office. This guy is brilliant. It helped us a lot to define the key parts of our presentation. After 9 months we do have a clear problem that we adress. 
We called it The video paradox: Video is the best way to capture memories BUT almost no one really use it. #Herecomesznappit

SF is full of great coffee-shops where you can work :  TheCreamery was our spot for the afternoon. #chill

As proper tourists we also had to go to Twin-Peaks and enjoy the amazing view above San Francisco and ...znapp it! #sunset

Finally we met some french startupers for diner @PizzaDeluxe with our dear @adrienm, and @NicoFayon & @BenoitVallon (2 Founders of Pageyourself) #PaleAleBeer



(watch the znapping ==> here <==)
