Feedback from incubated members

Incubation at Dauphine brings us many advantages, including access to a dedicated mentors, who help us to structure and manage our startup on a daily basis. It is also based in a strategic location in Paris and access to a powerful ecosystem unique to Dauphine University.

One of the main strengths of the incubator is the tailored support, along with the feeling of belonging to a family: the incubator’s development managers help us with our daily issues and are dedicated to 8-10 startups, which is a real privelege compared to other Parisian incubators.
