STATION F announces its Female Founders Fellowship

STATION F, the world’s largest startup campus-based in Paris, announced the launch of the third cohort of its Female Founders Fellowship, featuring 16 female entrepreneurs. The Female Founders Fellowship is STATION F’s program designed to accelerate success for exemplary female founders through dedicated support, workshops and mentoring.

Each year, 15-20 high potential female-founded startups from STATION F are selected to join this 6-month program to empower their founders.

The ecosystem is still slowly changing on highlighting and funding female-founded companies. Since the first edition, the Female Founders Fellowship is our way to provide as much support as possible to high-potential female-founders to create role-models in different sectors and industries that will inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs,” said Marwan Elfitesse, Head of Startup Programs & Services at STATION F.

Diversity at the Core of STATION F’s Mission

With diversity at the core of STATION F’s mission since day one, the campus now welcomes 45% of female-founded companies among the 1.000 startups gathered at STATION F. For the second year in a row, the startup company is partnering with Goldman Sachs’s Launch With GS initiative to help with the development of the program and provide the Female Founders Fellowship with additional resources.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with STATION F for the Female Founders Fellowship this year. STATION F’s commitment to empowering female founders in Europe creates more opportunity for women within the venture capital ecosystem. Through this partnership, we look forward to working with these incredible founders as they grow their companies,” said Seun Toye Kayode Vice President and EMEA Head of Launch With GS.
