Station F Founders Program Paris

The Station F Founders Program Paris is a zero-equity accelerator and cohort program administered by STATION F. Operating out of the world's largest startup campus, the initiative provides early-stage tech companies with dedicated workspace, mentorship, and fast-tracked venture capital access for a monthly fee starting at €259 per desk. The program runs for three to eighteen months and requires founders to have a working minimum viable product, commit full-time, and maintain a physical presence in Paris, with the next application deadline scheduled for May 3, 2026. Participants work alongside major campus partners such as Meta, Microsoft, and LVMH, while joining an alumni network that includes unicorn companies like Hugging Face. This resource is intended for pre-seed and seed-stage technology founders seeking ecosystem immersion, go-to-market guidance, and fundraising support to scale their operations globally.

Station F is Europe's largest startup campus, located in Paris's 13th arrondissement. The Founders Program is a residency-based program providing desk space, community, mentorship, and access to corporate partners. Station F makes no direct investment and takes no equity - you apply for campus access and ecosystem membership. The deadline is September 6, 2026.
