Overview
Join our core and most selective in-house program dedicated to early-stage companies. This program provides maximum flexibility and resources (from 3-18 months depending on company performance). The first 3 months are designed to get you up and running. If you are a top performer in your batch, you can unlock additional resources, including funding, top-level advisors and a lot more.
Details
For entrepreneurs only.
Entrepreneurs are at the core of everything we do. Our program is built by startups for startups. Whatever we do and offer comes recommended and validated by other entrepreneurs.
No mentors. No babysitters.
We believe in our entrepreneurs’ independence. No appointed mentors, no mandatory meetings: just a crazy selection of resources and people available for you.
Your milestones, your deadlines.
We know innovation is not one-size-fits-all. Our founders program fits your schedule and pushes you to over-achieve your ambitions - all of our resources are à-la-carte and can be leveraged at any time.
FIRST 3 MONTHS
Be prepared to be on campus as much as possible for the first 3 months. This period is dedicated to getting you acquainted with your peers and resources as much as possible - as well as clarifying your milestones and getting results! Learn as much as you can through the workshops and community - and above all, we want to see you give back. This period will help us identify who is best in class.
- MEET OUTLIER FOUNDERS: Surround yourself with like-minded founders. You’ll go faster, trust us :)
- DEFINE YOUR MILESTONES: THIS IS KEY. Learn how to define your startup’s objectives - and get results.
- ACCESS A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK: Ecosystem karma is real and we want you to learn this early-on. The STATION F network has your back.
- BUILD A LEADING TEAM: The best of the best are often on campus. Learn how to leverage this and build a leading team.
- PMF (WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS): 99% startups fail because they never find PMF. Be the other 1%.
- MONEY MONEY MONEY: Top performers can score a check from STATION F and additional funding support. We have the best network in town.

Description of Ideal Candidate
JOINING THE PROGRAM
Here are key elements we will look at when applying to Founders Program 2.0.
- YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH BUILDING A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY: Responsability & diversity are not a “nice to have” - it's a core part of the DNA of tomorrow's leading businesses. Show us that responsability is already part of who you are and what you are building.
- YOU'RE MOTIVATED BY (BIG) RESULTS: For you, being a founder isn't just a title - it's in your bones. You have a strong work ethic and results to prove it. Right now, you're early-stage, you have an MVP, maybe a few users or revenue but not much more. But in 18 months, your product will be in market and will be creating an outsized impact.
- YOUR COMPANY HAS A REAL UPPER HAND IN IMPACT AND TRENDS: What sets you apart from 10 other companies working on exactly the same thing as you? If you have something that gives you an upper hand - an insight, a skill, an experience, a network - we want to know. We want to see that you are working on a game-changing innovation, that you are impact-driven, or ideally both.
