French term
France
buzz
One of the speakers is talking about investment in entrepreneurs. The text is as follows:
En 2014, la Fondation s’est engagée – à hauteur de 100 millions de dollars – à financer 10,000 entrepreneurs africains sur 10 ans. Chaque année, c’est 1,000 entrepreneurs à travers le continent qui bénéficient d’une formation intensive pendant 12 semaines, d’un mentorat et d’un financement à hauteur de 10,000 dollars. Qui sont ces entrepreneurs? Où en sont-il aujourd’hui? Véritable tremplin ou simple buzz ?
A little unsure about the word in this context. Flash in the pan? Or am I completely off the mark here?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
