This June 29, Station F celebrates its fifth anniversary. In the former Hall Freyssinet, the incubator imagined by Xavier Niel became the largest in Europe. After rocky beginnings, the place found its cruising speed and settled into the heart of the Parisian ecosystem, becoming important.
- During 5 years, 5015 start-ups received support, 92.4% of which are still operating. Among them are Yuka and its 30 million users in France, or Hugging Face, an artificial intelligence specialist and the first of the startups incubated at F Station to become a unicorn.
- 1.8 billion euros have been raised by young companies, including 500 million in 2021 alone. More than 85% of collections are less than 5 million. Logic when you think about it. Station F is an incubator, so the place welcomes many young companies.
- 47,200 jobs were created within five years. They left at 1000 and arrived…
- 57% of founders had already created their first company. The serial entrepreneur still has a brilliant future.
- 41.1% of founders are female founders. Entrepreneurs are on average 35 years old. They are aging, in 2029 they were 31 years old on average. And 60% of them have children.
