FrenchWeb is a professional Paris-based blog focused on French startups, founded in 2010 by Richard Menneveux. It began as a series of video interviews and has evolved into a news outlet that often breaks stories picked up by larger publications. The site recorded 270,000 unique visitors in June, according to Google Analytics. FrenchWeb recently raised almost $1 million in an angel round from 17 French web entrepreneurs. The new capital will be used for a number of initiatives, primarily to accelerate the outlet’s pace of production by building a new TV studio. The article does not provide other financial details such as revenue.
