What is it ?
Launched in 2026 by Creative Valley, Start in Paris Region is a one-year support program dedicated to early-stage companies (currently being formed, or registered for less than 3 years with less than €50k in revenue) looking to establish themselves or grow within the Paris region.
Start in Paris Region supports founders through the key stages of their seed development, with a specific focus on structuring their go-to-market strategy and preparing for their initial funding rounds.
Program content
The support is structured around two main pillars:
Go-to-Market: After assessing the project's market maturity, we define an effective and concrete strategy to sign the first customers. This includes an operational roadmap for 3, 6, and 12 months, followed by taking action with the support of a mentor.
Financing: This pillar focuses on evaluating the project's readiness, strengthening its financial foundations, and building a strategy to consolidate equity, backed by a clear financial roadmap.
