Great news! We're happy to announce that Authorea is one of the winners
of the \href{http://www.nycparisstartups.com/home}{NYC-Paris Business
Exchange} competition. We'll be opening an Authorea office in Paris in
March 2016. C'est g\selectlanguage{ngerman}énial! \emph{\textbf{}} ~ ~ ~~\\

The competition was organized by the Cities of New York and Paris to
reinforce their economic relations. The exchange aims to help New York
City-based companies expand to Paris, and vice versa, by offering 6
months of free co-working space, events, and business development
support.\\

If you are in Paris and are interested in having the Authorea team visit
your University or Institution to give a demo, this is a great time to
\href{mailto:hi@authorea.com\%20}{get in touch}. Actually it doesn't
matter if you are in Paris or not, it's always a great time to reach out
and arrange a visit!\\

Happy Writing!~\\

-The Authorea Team
