STATION F

BOOOOM!! 💥 There’s no better way to close out October than announcing that Google is offering a 3-week intensive accelerator at STATION F to fast-track your startup’s growth with hands-on support from Google Cloud, Google DeepMind, and YouTube experts. Trust us - this is going to be HUGE!! 🔥 Alongside 9 other ambitious AI startups (pre-seed/seed), you’ll tackle your key technical challenges through exclusive mentorship with a Google expert, tailored to your AI project, plus workshops and credits to boost your development. Thanks to the Google team, especially Louis Soboul and Cyrille Saint Olive, for making this happen on campus. Apply here: https://lnkd.in/epAPh9dn

🚀 The Founders Program keeps evolving - and so do the founders joining it!! The new batch at STATION F brings together some of the most experienced entrepreneurs we’ve ever hosted: repeat founders, former VPs from leading tech scaleups like Planity, Deliveroo and Believe, and startups already raising significant funding rounds even before launching their products. Their projects are more complex, more technical, and powered by #AI - not as the product itself, but as a smart engine driving scalability and execution. At STATION F, we continue to adapt to these new needs: stronger partner networks, infrastructure support, and concrete business enablement to help ambitious founders move faster and go further. 👏 Huge congratulations to all the startups in this new batch - Alva.care, banyan.eco, Beink Dream, Raison (formerly Corolair), Gems, Correl8, Krako Labs, Inc., MincaAI, Hugy, NextLevel, Ooak Data, Orbital, Pearl, Qantum, Revolv, Siembra, SMALK AI, SoonGo and Sumbia 👏 Your ambition and drive are inspiring.

Let's bring Taylor Swift on campus!

As the fourth annual unlock VC (previously WVC:E) conference kicked off at STATION F in Paris yesterday, I wondered what would remain the same as previous years — and what would be very different.    The same: The all-female audience was more brightly dressed, chatty and friendly than your average conference goers. There were babies, in the womb and outside of them. We talked about Europe vs the US, GP and LP relationships, liquidity challenges and how to get to the top in a male-dominated industry. Different: People were more bullish than ever on Europe’s venture industry and what it can achieve.    “I think all founders should at least spend some time in the Valley… absorb it… and then get over it,” said Project Europe CEO Kitty Mayo, to cheers from her fellow panellist Station F director Roxanne VARZA.    “We talk about fragmentation a lot,” added Varza (on a panel expertly moderated by Sifted's Maya Dharampal-Hornby 🙌 ). “But there’s also fragmentation in the US… In Europe we make it a big deal.”    “The European ecosystem needs to stop buying into the American rhetoric on Europe,” Varza said. “It’s US marketing. Let’s stop playing into that.”    “We need European VCs to be bolder,” said Rita Sobral, special counsel at law firm Cooley LLP. When leading European investors start winning deals in hot companies in the US, we’ll all be telling ourselves a very different story, she added. 💪 Congratulations to everyone who made the event awesome (Sophie Winwood, Anisah Osman Britton MBE & co).
