# [2021.06.29] Start-Ups and Innovations Today I listened to a webinar about foundations and banks supporting start-ups in France. For some reason, they directed invitations to all my colleagues, even those who prove theorems and never write a single line of code. What kind of start-up can they establish? Nobody answered me, although it seemed I was the only person who tried asking questions. The organisers told me I could write them an email and wished everyone bon appétit. Well, really, who wants innovations during their lunchtime?
