'The mission stays the same': French weather tech founder opens up after exit to French giant

For some impact founders, the dream is to capture enough of the market and funding to hit unicorn status and go public as founder and owner. For others, the goal is to grow enough to show financial viability and prove the underlying product, before being bought out by a larger rival.
