Standards that match the ambition

Moving forward in the program is earned.

CoFonderie is an intensive program that requires a full-time commitment.

At key moments in the journey, each team has to show it has what it takes to continue:

  • commitment

  • team strength

  • ability to execute

  • progress

  • evidence gathered in the field

A person or a team that does not meet the program's expectations may see their journey end before the 12 weeks are up.

CoFonderie is an intensive, selective, full-time program. You're not there to learn how a startup works: you're there to try to launch one and convince investors to bet on it.

The journey

Phase 1: Form the team

Find out who you can really build with.

Work with several people in the cohort, test different configurations and put your compatibility to the test in action.

You try. You learn. You adjust. And when a team works, you choose to build together.

Phase 2: Validate the opportunity

Find evidence before you build too fast.

As a team, you move from intuition to the field. Through validation sprints, you test your assumptions, put your project in front of potential customers and look for concrete signals that a real opportunity exists.

Phase 3: Convince

Turn what you've learned into a company that can attract interest.

Structure your proposition, your business model and your pitch, then get ready to present your company to investors.

Taking part in the program does not guarantee any investment.
