About
START Paris is a student-run entrepreneurship community, and the Paris chapter of the international START Network.
Our mission
To empower the next generation of entrepreneurs.
What we do
We organise events that put students in the same room as founders, investors and people who build for a living. Some are large and public, like the evenings we host during VivaTech week. Others are small on purpose, like a dinner for a dozen student founders.
The community is open to students, aspiring founders, builders and anyone curious about entrepreneurship. You don't need a startup idea or a technical background to come to most of our events.
Part of the START Network
START Paris was approved as the Paris chapter of the international START Network in December 2023.
Each year, chapters of the network select a startup to represent their city at START Summit in St. Gallen, Switzerland. In Paris, that selection is our pitch competition, Road to START Summit.
Who runs it
START Paris is run by students. The core team plans the events, finds the partners and venues, and keeps the chapter going.
