In France, it seems January is always full of surprises. This time last year, new seed funds Kima Ventures and Jaina Capital were announcing their plans to fill a gaping void in the French investment landscape.

des Métiers de l'Internet (EEMI), a European internet startup school set to kick-off in fall 2011. The news first broke in Paris Match(not traditionally known for tech news, but hey) in December.
