Su42 is a non-profit accelerator designed by EPITA to offer hacker teams with a good idea the skills and opportunities they need to become startup founders. Twice a year, 7 new startups are accelerated by SU42 during a 4-month program. These startups are selected for their skills, their cohesion, their mindset, their vision of the market, their fit with the market and, eventually, their startup idea. To be able to apply for Startup42, there needs to be at least one founder in charge of coding the first version of the product. During the acceleration the startups find some help to: go from a good idea to a minimum viable product, validate their initial market hypothesis, and present their product to the world. These goals are achieved through the following services: 1. Serendipity mentorship from entrepreneurs 2. Workshops with experts from specific industry fields 3. Meetings with investors 4. A co(mmunity) working space within the EPITA campus during the program 5. 800k€ in perks from our partners The 4 months end with the SU42 Demo Day: a pitching session in front of the startup ecosystem where the 7 startups have to show a functional demo of their product. This program is best designed for teams starting a startup with a technological edge and having more trouble with the business side than the technical side. We do not want any beautiful tech innovation to die in the wild because they did not get sufficient help. And to firmly ensure that, we built a model that is fair and with as little barrier as possible: the 4 months are free of any charges and we expect our alumni to make a donation when they feel it’s the moment to do so. The price is up to them.
