Fashion is the New Geek: TechNode.fr and XFounder Set to Upend Your Mindset for Startup Geeks

What will pop up into your mind on hearing the word “GEEK”? Probably a bunch of The Big Bang Theory protagonists who are surprisingly talented on the one hand, but also extremely inward or even look nerdy on the other hand. Your mindset would be changed if you joined us last Friday at Shanghai’s art gallery Island6 for the launch party of TechNode French as well as the first gathering of our invitation-only entrepreneur club XFounder, because the XFounder geeks here are sophisticated and primed to explore a new field-fashion!

Committed to the goal of bridging Chinese and global startup ecosystem as ever, TechNode partnered up with the Sino-French digital consulting agency for fashion brands VELVET Group to launch the French version of TechNode two months earlier.

The special occasion also served as a best opportunity to bring together the tech and fashion communities, two fields that boast so much similarities as well as cooperation potentials.
