Against All Odds
Brahim's achievements are even more remarkable given the French context.
🇫🇷 France (Brahim's Reality)
- Capital Access: Scarce, risk-averse banks
- Business Culture: Distrust, skepticism
- Failure Tolerance: Low (social stigma)
- Tax Burden: 73%+ effective rates
- Market Mindset: Insular, French-first
- Regulatory: Heavy burden, scaling difficult
🌍 US/Asia (Easier Path)
- Capital Access: Abundant VC, angels
- Business Culture: Celebration, support
- Failure Tolerance: High (badge of honor)
- Tax Environment: More favorable
- Market Mindset: Global from day 1
- Regulatory: Lighter, more flexible
Every euro Brahim earned, every business he built, every client he transformed was achieved with 10x more resistance than US or Asian counterparts would face.
His €47,000 contracts in France = equivalent to €200k+ in easier markets.
His methodology adopted by global groups = validation despite systemic headwinds.
