Here they are – the most exciting startups from beautiful France. Our „Top 5“ choice is: Goojet, Lingueo, Silentale, MyID.is and Webwag.

At the same time, the French startup is coming out with an updated version of its mobile content and services suite. As Marketing Manager Cédric Giorgi explains: „Goojet enhances your mobile experience by aggregating a number of services and content offerings into one portal. Users can create their mobile world as well as select and customize the services they need.“

Language social network Lingueo offers courses with native speakers in 36 languages around the world. Prices of Lingueo’s one-to-one classes start as low as 10 per hour. The Global Connections specialist for Language Exchange has been founded by Arnaud Portanelli, Johann Querne and Guillaume le Dieu de Ville.
