Paris Startup Community, Mentorship and Events

Paris Global Startup Community

As Paris aims to grow its startup scene, Founders Network aims to bridge the gap with offering a global network. Positioned in the heart of startups in San Francisco, Founders Network’s mission is in facilitating Founder mentoring, investments and relationships. We’re a mentorship program built to help our Paris members grow.

Learn, Network, and Engage with entrepreneurs from Paris

Paris has a unique startup culture. In a plan to attract foreign talent, at least 30% of startups in Paris incubators must be foreign. Paris has shown its commitment to building a startup tech hub with Station F, the world’s largest coworking and incubation space. With President Macron’s pledge to make France a “country of Unicorns”, Paris becomes an exciting place to build a startup.

Founders Network is based in San Francisco, just 45 minutes north of the valley and was built with the Silicon Valley startup founder in mind. At Founders Network, we know that a robust network of other founders is an essential part of any successful tech founder’s startup playbook. Our mentorship program is designed to support our members throughout their startup journey and accelerate their success.

Time is running out!
