My friend Brian Boyer at Perkins Coie alerted me to the next French Connection/Tech Connection meeting on March 19th. Four startups will demo at L'Atelier BNP-Paribas in San Francisco.

GrandCentral
was founded by former DialPad and Yahoo execs Vincent Paquet and Craig Walker. Their value proposition is very simple: "One phone tied to you, not your location, ...for life". Criteo is a Web 2.0 collaborative recommendation engine for merchants and portals based in Paris and SF, backed by French VCs. As you surf the web, privately funded and Paris-based Yoono lets you effortlessly discover similar sites, blog notes and people sharing the same interests based on community rankings. Djingle, also Paris-based, offers a platform for low-cost, high quality TV and Video On Demand.
