Overview
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.
Details
STATION F is the world's biggest startup campus based in Paris, gathering a whole entrepreneurial ecosystemunder one roof.
An early stage program to help you launch your startup
By joining, you’ll benefit from a free one-year support with access to all STATION F’s ressources and visibility. You will get access to our unique ecosystem of entrepreneurs & investors as well as specific workshops on early stage strategy. Our team will track your progress and will provide dedicated office hours & mentors. And who knows, you could (even) meet Xavier Niel!
What is a Fighter?
Fighters are people that face difficulties and obstacles to become entrepreneurs. You just need to be working full time on your tech project and to have big ambitions! Some of our Fighters come from Quartiers Prioritaires de la Ville (QPV), are refugees and more... You have a doubt? Don’t hesitate to apply and we will review your application!
Your Journey
- ROUND 1: Focus on the basics - This Round is an opportunity to deep dive on your project. Fireside chats with entrepreneurs, access to Launch by STATION F, office-hours with our team and support from the wider Fighters community are on the agenda. We're expecting you to be on campus twice a week. The most ambitious teams who've demonstrated clear engagement and progress will progress to the next round.
- ROUND 2: Get onboard at STATION F! 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.
- WHAT'S NEXT? Pitch to partner programs - 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.
