Start with strong foundations.
Paris Launchpad is Atelier Founders’ one-year acceleration program for early-stage businesses establishing themselves or growing in the Paris region. It is designed for ventures being created, or companies registered for less than three years with revenues under €50,000. Founders work on their go-to-market strategy and prepare for their initial funding rounds.
Two pillars. One practical roadmap.
01 / Go-to-market
Assess your project’s market maturity, then define a concrete strategy to sign your first customers. Build an operational 3-, 6- and 12-month roadmap, and put it into action with a mentor.
02 / Funding
Evaluate your readiness, strengthen your financial foundations and develop an equity consolidation strategy backed by a clear financial roadmap.
Small groups. Shared progress.
01 / 4 hours each month
One coach-led go-to-market session, one coach-led funding session, and a two-hour peer-learning session for knowledge sharing and overcoming roadblocks.
02 / A weekly action rhythm
Every Monday: one clear action to implement. Every Friday: feedback and adjustments.
03 / Community and events
Connect with fellow entrepreneurs through events, workshops and networking opportunities.
Funding preparation.
Incubation within the Paris Launchpad program allows you to apply for the FPI (Fonds Parisien pour l’Innovation / Parisian Innovation Fund). Awarded during the early-stage phase, this grant can provide up to €30,000 in funding. Learn more.
