STATION F

8 years in - and so much has happened on campus since day one!! To celebrate, we put together a special report with exclusive insights from inside STATION F - insights that also highlight key trends in the European startup ecosystem ⬇️dropbox.com/scl/fi/uddxcsn…

Welcome back home, @Gorintic and @jcsamuelian! This is where it all started for @avec_alan. Your old offices are still here and since then, dozens of startups have worked in the exact same spot. A good reminder that the best success stories often start in the same place 😌

You raised. Now what? Yesterday, @Snowflake, @awscloud, @eurazeo and @GitGuardian hosted a workshop for our F/ai founders to answer exactly that question. It was just practical stuff, no fluff.

ARO, a STATION F startup, has been acquired by @avec_alan, our health unicorn!! 🔥 That's the strength of our community. And this kind of news never gets old. Big congrats to the founders, Gaspard Hauet, Charles Géry & the whole ARO team. The next chapter starts at Alan 🚀

The 2026 Female Innovation Index is out. And we're a proud partner! 🙌 The numbers tell a real story: → €7.5B raised by female entrepreneurs in Europe in 2025 – the highest level of VC funding in three years → 22% of that went to AI companies → Round sizes up 12% year-on-year → 29 female-founded unicorns in Europe → 124 M&A exits for female-founded startups Our Director @roxannevarza participated in the Index – alongside several STATION F female founders: Erica Beavers (Alpic), Adele James (Phagos), and Dali Rashid (Genomines). Proud to be part of this. The work isn't done but these numbers show we're moving in the right direction. Full study and data here: femaleinnovationindex.com

Want to go deep on AI with @GeminiApp's experts in the room? On April 15, @Google is hosting a hands-on AI sprint on campus. No slides. No theory. Just your team, your product, and the people who built the tools you're using. Apply here: rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/gemini_…

Happy birthday, @avec_alan ! From a campus desk to one of Europe’s most ambitious health insurers: over the past decade, you’ve shown that the industry can be reimagined. Here’s to 10 more! 🎉

Huge congrats to Topograph for closing a €2M seed round – led by @seedcamp with participation of @DrysdaleVC, @kimaventures, @motierventures and Better Angle! Global financial data is fragmented and hard to verify. Topograph is fixing that. Excited to see what you continue to build, Pierre-Henri Janssens, Hugo Dellinger, Emmanuel Scharff! Proud to have you on campus as part of our first F/ai batch! 🎉

No “right” CV, but you want to be a founder? Fighters Program powered by @tiktok_us is for you. 500+ founders last batch. We don't punch our founders – just the norms! Applications open 👇 form.fillout.com/t/198QRiJFRReu

The @joinstationf Startup Gremlins have ended our long national nightmare and FINALLY revealed the F/AI spring batch: 👉 20 AI startups 🥣 80% cereal founders 🥸 infrastructure, agents, risk & compliance, marketing & sales, lions & tigers & bears, oh my. frenchtechjournal.com/station-fs-f-a…

Last week, Arnaud Weiss and Arthur Coudouy, cofounders of Sillage (F/ai – Future 40), did something pretty bold – they flew straight to @salesforce's HQ in Dublin to turn prospecting into a competition. 50+ sales reps. The result? Reps booked a multiple of their usual meetings. We love this about our F/ai founders. They show up, even when the customer has 70K+ employees.

Big congrats to @blifyapp (Future 40 2025) on raising $2.1M pre-seed!! The round was led by AFI Ventures (@Ventech_VC's impact fund), with participation from @kimaventures, Better Angle and Fair Equity, plus 50+ business angels from @avec_alan, @doctolib, & @jobteaser.

The wait is over 👀 The full F/ai spring batch just dropped exclusively in @Sifted. 👉 20 AI-native startups. Selected by recommendation only. 80% are serial founders. And they chose STATION F to go again. And thanks to @EannaKelly1 for the coverage. sifted.eu/articles/the-2…

@bcherny @claudeai @AnthropicAI here's the blogpost: stationf.co/news/boris-che…

“I have not written a single line of code since November.” This week, we had the honor of hosting @bcherny, Creator & Head of @claudeai Code at @AnthropicAI, for an exclusive ask-me-anything with our F/ai startups. His bigger predictions: 👉 Coding will soon be largely automated 👉 Software teams will get dramatically smaller 👉 This could become a golden age for builders Read the full takeaways from the talk in our latest blogpost, link in comments.
