Every year in November, STATION F reveals the Future 40 — our annual list of the 40 best-performing startups on campus. Selected from over 1,000 startups, these companies represent the top 4% of STATION F each year. Being selected gives startups unparalleled visibility, which accelerates fundraising, generates business opportunities, and facilitates recruitment.
How to apply
Applications open once a year, around summer time, and all startups residing at STATION F can apply.
History and evolution
Initially, the Future 40 was only open to companies that had raised €1 million or less. This criterion changed in 2023, and there is no longer a funding cap for startups to qualify.
Since 2022, STATION F has also invested a founder-friendly follow-on check in 10 companies from each batch.
Connecting top companies with top investors
We're proud that many of the world's leading funds and investors have participated in the Future 40. Past Future 40 companies have raised from funds including Accel Partners, EQT Ventures, Runa Capital, Partech, Notion Capital, RTP Global, Singular, Y Combinator, Blossom Capital, Seedcamp, and more.
