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…

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…

“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.

Great to welcome Deputy Prime Minister of Ireland (or: “Tánaiste”) @SimonHarrisTD to campus yesterday. He met with @roxannevarza and three startups on campus – Topograph, Figen AI, and Entalpic. All three are working on ambitious AI projects with global potential. Thanks to their teams for sharing their work and vision. Looking forward to building even more bridges between Ireland and the STATION F! 🇮🇪

Fundraising news doesn’t stop!! 🚀 Living Models (formerly dotomics) just raised $7M and is exiting stealth with BOTANIC, a family of transformer models trained on genomic sequences from 43 plant species. Living Models’ AI models learn from DNA instead of text or code, aiming to understand the “language of life” in genomes – a new way to tackle big problems in biology, plants, and climate. We are especially proud, as Living Models is part of our Future 40 2024 batch! The team, part of both the @Microsoft program and 21st by @centralesupelec on campus! Congrats to Cyril Véran and the whole team – so excited to see where you take this! 👏

Big congrats to Qevlar AI (Future 40 2024), who were part of the @Microsoft program at STATION F, on raising $30M!! 🚀 The round was led by @Partech and @forgepointcap, with participation from @eqtventures. Already working with companies like @MercedesAMG, the team is helping security operations centers move from reactive alert management to proactive security. Great to see the momentum, Ahmed Achchak and Hamza Sayah – congrats to the whole team 👏

Some incredible recommendations since we announced F/AI at @joinstationf 🔥 blown away

@BFMTV @roxannevarza @LauraModiano @OpenAI bfmtv.com/economie/repla…

STATION F at @BFMTV 😮‍💨 Yesterday evening, @roxannevarza and @LauraModiano (Head of Startups EMEA at @OpenAI) went live on Tech & Co to talk about the partnership between OpenAI and STATION F and our new program F/ai. Laura mentioned that she was genuinely impressed by the quality and technical level of this batch, which makes it clear why OpenAI is proud to be a partner of the program. During the talk, some names of F/ai startups were leaked, e.g. @RippletideCo, who also won the OpenAI hackathon in San Francisco two weeks ago! More of the batch will be shared, soon.
