STATION F features 30+ startup programs including 3 in-house programs: the Founders Program, the Fighters Program and the FemTech Program.
The founding idea behind the Fighters Program is simple: anyone who has the drive and ambition to become an entrepreneur should be able to — regardless of their life path. We're working to reduce the risks and remove the biases that have held back generations of potential entrepreneurs coming from underprivileged and underrepresented backgrounds. The Fighters Program provides the connections and resources you need to become a founder of the next big thing.
Round 1 is your springboard into the world of entrepreneurship. On the agenda: advice from entrepreneurs who’ve been there and done it before, access to Launch by STATION F, office hours with our team and a chance to meet and learn from your fellow Fighters. There are now 2 options for joining the program: “Remote” which takes place 100% online, or “On Campus” which takes place in-person, at our campus in Paris. With these 2 options, we welcome applications from Fighters from all regions across France. Both options follow the same program, with the “On Campus” option requiring you to be present on campus twice per week. To progress to round 2, Fighters will be selected based on the strength of their pitch, their ambition and their motivation to turn their pitch into reality.
You've been selected for Round 2? You did all the prep work in Round 1, so now it's time to show us what you can accomplish. You will also be on your own for this round. We will curate STATION F's best resources for you, introduce you to the campus ecosystem and offer you a dedicated desk to work from.
At the end of Round 2, you will have the opportunity to pitch your company and vision in front of STATION F's program managers community, so you should be feeling pretty confident with your business idea and gameplan to go after it. If it's a fit, you can apply to officially join one of the nearly 30 other programs on campus to receive additional connections and resources as you continue your entrepreneurial journey.
Some Fighters come from underprivileged backgrounds, some have faced severe illness or a challenging personal life. We believe that if you have the drive and ambition to become an entrepreneur, you deserve to have access to the same resources and connections as others to help you get started on your journey.
