In this episode of the TransAtlantic Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Stéphanie Liot, Project Manager at La Maison de l’Occitanie in New York City.

We talk about the common traps French and European entrepreneurs fall into when trying to crack the U.S. market, from underestimating cultural differences to believing that a translated pitch is enough.

Stephanie shares her personal story of moving to New York, what surprised her most, and what she's learned from working with dozens of French startups trying to grow in the U.S.

You’ll learn:
 ✅ Why Americans hire based on
fit more than CV
 ✅ What New York networking is really like (and how to survive it)
 ✅ How to make your pitch resonate with U.S. clients and investors
 ✅ Why culture isn’t “soft”. It’s a competitive edge

Whether you're just thinking about the U.S. or already in-market, this episode will help you avoid expensive mistakes and adapt faster.
