STATION F announces top 40 pre-seed & seed companies for 2023
We are pleased to announce the 2023 Future 40, STATION F’s top 40 pre-seed and seed companies, powered by Snowflake.
Every November since 2019, we publish our top 40 seed and pre-seed companies in a list known as Future 40 (not to be confused with the French government’s Next40). These companies are carefully picked from our 1,000 startups on campus each year, meaning that they represent the top 4% of startups campus for a given year.
Previous editions have included companies like Fintecture, 900.care, DFNS, Interstellar Lab, Sifflet, BigBlue, Stonly, Whitelab Genomics, Kinetix and more. In 2022, 28 Future 40 companies raised funding with the biggest round to date being Fintecture’s €26 million round in November 2022. Many leading funds have also invested in Future 40 companies, including Accel Partners, Northzone, RTP Global, Runa Capital, Coinbase, EQT, YCombinator, Partech, ISAI and more.

Prior to 2023, companies who had already raised €1 million or more were actually not eligible, meaning that our selection was much more limited. However, given that some companies now raise large rounds very quickly, we decided to change this criteria and remove the funding limit. This means that now all companies at STATION F are eligible and the companies that have been selected for the 2023 edition have strong metrics and/or have met key milestones for their given businesses.
As of 2022, STATION F also started investing into select Future 40 companies from each edition. All selected companies are invited to pitch in an online demo day that is only accessible to accredited investors and attracts hundreds of participants from around the world. Investors can request introductions to all Future 40 companies, including from previous editions. The online demo day is followed by a dinner in Paris for the companies and select investors from the STATION F Investor community. This year’s online Demo Day also features a look at some of the lesser-known areas of STATION F - including our new restaurant Bay Side, the inside of one of the apartments at our coliving Flatmates, new event spaces and even the STATION F staff workspace.
