Good meeting up as always.  Here are few more thoughts:

1.  Orange Fab is looking for products & technologies that can benefit Orange internally & its customers.  Create a story of how Peer can benefit Orange internally, ex Orange sales & support can use Peer for external business communication/external professional instant chat & messaging etc.
2.  As for how Peer benefits its customers, its "2 million+ enterprise/business customers", one group that can integrate/roll Peer into its product/solution offering can be its Orange Business Services group:  http://www.orange-business.com/en
3.  Check out this press release, you can imagine Orange roll out Peer as an enterprise external business communication solution to their enterprise customers (although this would require tons of development to get there): http://www.orange-business.com/en/press/sgs-renews-cloud-based-messaging-services-contract-with-orange-business-services
4.  Under their solutions, they have conferencing, unified communications, workspace etc solutions.  Peer can be part of those solutions and/or a stand-alone solution.
5.  Back to Orange Fab, check out the categories they are looking for:  http://orangefab.com/program/#criteria .  Since the PM asked you about Web RTC, he is probably thinking about Peer for unified communications, which is what I mentioned about as one of the solutions under Orange Business Services.  Peer can also fall under cloud service/technologies, big data, and user interfaces.  But focus on unified communications.
6.  "Orange Fab is seeking early-stage start-ups incorporated in the US with an existing product. At this stage in your process, you’ve built your product, nailed your pitch, and need a global company like Orange, to take you to the next level"  Orange is here to take you to the next level, you are here to build amazing product that "Orange internally and its customers will benefit greatly"
7.  Create a story and results.  What is the result of Orange internal team using Peer externally?  And what is the result of Orange's customers using Peer?  How benefit will Orange get from both scenarios?  Better external communication in real-time, less barrier, more efficient communication = more leads & revenue.  The result that internal Orange team is experiencing can be applied to Orange customers, because all enterprises have similar problems.

There was nothing significant about the interview. There were more than 10 people at the interview. One guy was asleep even before we started the pitch. We got questions mostly on the technical side. It feels to me that the decision makers in the audience weren't really interested. Maybe they were tired after all the interview and it was about lunch time. By the way, they are interviewing 30 teams.
