Is it possible to be an entrepreneur in France ?

Jean-Michel Planche started his enterprise by creating his own company in order to give himself a job. His aim was to look at things in a different light and to attempt to do things which other people felt were bound to fail. Motivated primarily by the search for enthusiasm and pleasure, he firstly wanted to delegate as much work as possible. From humble beginnings, this technical enthusiast made a name for himself among the important Internet companies by creating Oléane. He subsequently agreed to sell it to France Télécom, where he became the Internet director for businesses. Later, he moved away from this area to work on his own, launching new ideas and watching their implementation, while still leaving operational tasks to specialists, while keeping the most limited functional role possible for himself. This is how Jean-Michel Planche now comes to be in charge of his fourth company with the objective that it will reach the critical size quickly in order to allow him to spend more time exploring other ideas : enough to keep investors intrigued !
