Why you should join the program

The all-in-one startup ecosystem.
Whether you are looking to pilot your product, scale your business, hire new talent, or secure a round of investment, we provide the platform to make those goals a reality. This is the all-in-one startup ecosystem.
From MVP to POC
We organise private one-on-one meetings with top executives from the largest corporations in the world so that you can negotiate pilots and sell your product rapidly and efficiently. Don’t waste your time talking to the wrong people!
From POC to Industrialisation
We hate POC bulimia and discussions leading nowhere. We work hard for your successful pilots to scale to other verticals and convert into sales. Fight corporate tourism!

“During the six-month program, you will receive free co-working space at Station F, the largest startup campus in the world, in the heart of Paris, access to all of our events, and major corporate dealflow sessions. You are also invited to visit Silicon Valley. ”
