What's it all about?
Launched in 2026 by Creative Valley, Start in Paris Region is a one-year acceleration program dedicated to early-stage companies (in the process of being created, or registered for less than 3 years, with revenues under €50K) looking to establish themselves or grow in the Paris region.
Start in Paris Region supports founders through the key stages of their early-stage development, with a particular focus on structuring their go-to-market strategy and preparing for their initial funding rounds
Program Overview
The program is structured around two main pillars:
Go-to-Market: After assessing the project's market maturity, we will define an effective and concrete strategy to sign your first customers. This includes an operational 3, 6, and 12-month roadmap, moving into action with the support of a mentor.
Funding: This pillar focuses on evaluating the project's readiness, strengthening its financial foundations, and building an equity consolidation strategy, backed by a clear financial roadmap.
