Station F, the flagship incubator of the Parisian ecosystem, has launched an online program called Launch. It allows project entrepreneurs to have the necessary resources to train and better understand the entrepreneurial environment.
Roxanne Verza, director of Station F, started from the following observation: “ Despite what the media say, it is still very complicated to start a business. » She therefore took the initiative to launch Launch by Station F, the first exclusively online support program. It joins the three programs that Station F already offers: Founders, Fighters and FemTech. Lauch aims to respond to a very specific problem: the acceptance rate for applications remains very low and only amounts to 9% in the incubator’s various programs.
What is Launch, the Station F support program?
Launch was created to help entrepreneurs and provide them with the necessary resources to embark on their entrepreneurial adventure with peace of mind.
Concretely, entrepreneurs will be able to find:
- modules explaining the different stages to achieve an entrepreneurial project;
- courses on different themes (marketing, finance, administration, etc.);
- a discussion tool for entrepreneurs;
- feedback videos from iconic entrepreneurs;
- a kit to create your pitch deck step by step;
- discounts to obtain key tools (Notion, Figma, Bubble, etc.).
Launch: A freemium version to attract entrepreneurs
Launch is open to the general public in a free version and provides access to Station F content and events. There is also a paid version allowing entrepreneurs to access all of the services offered by the platform.
Launch is exclusively accessible online and via a freemium model. This means that users will have access to the first modules for free. The objective? Be able to test the relevance of the program. Following this, all resources will be accessible at a rate of 9.90 euros per month. Some videos will be hosted by well-known entrepreneurs and investors such as the founders of Lydia, BackMarket or even Cajoo. The content of the modules has been designed as a mix of theory and practice to allow everyone to progress at their own pace.
If you are a beneficiary of Station F’s various “diversity” partners (Fighters Program, Les Détermés, Singa, etc.), you will be able to benefit from the Launch program for free. Station F aims to attract 5,000 to 10,000 members.
