House of entrepreneurship
Start-up support schemes for Dauphine students
Support for entrepreneurs throughout their time at Dauphine
The Université Paris Dauphine-PSL has a number of resources students can tap into to launch a start-up or learn more about entrepreneurship: training, an incubator that has been running for over a decade, clubs and associations, conferences, workshops and round-table sessions, events to try out your business idea and find a partner (start-up weekends, pitch & meet sessions, etc.), a mentoring scheme that draws on Dauphine’s alumni, and much more.
The House of Entrepreneurship was kick-started by the Université Paris Dauphine-PSL in a bid to coordinate, showcase and grow these initiatives. Designed as a start-up hub, the House of Entrepreneurship is open to Dauphine’s entire community, offering students a space in which to come and discuss their ideas and be given access to the right people, schemes and initiatives, depending on their needs and how far along with their idea they are.

Your path : Entrepreneurial Talent stream, Founder of @OxygenServ
The Université Paris Dauphine-PSL has a jam-packed line-up of services to support entrepreneurship: I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Entrepreneurial Talent stream, which gave me the opportunity to tweak my schedule to make room for working on my start-up.
I was supported by the incubator in gradually building up my business idea and experience, and the House of Entrepreneurship gave me access to external events that were pivotal in helping me expand my network.

The Paris-Dauphine Incubator ensured we could accelerate growth thanks to the many conversations we had with experts from a range of different fields!
The incubator’s network meant we were supported by a mentor, and could tap into more student-entrepreneur calls for projects. Plus there was a fantastic, hugely supportive atmosphere!

The student scheme let me meet so many wonderful people who guided me through the process, from starting up to consolidating my business idea.
The workshops taught me so much about improving my start-up and the way I work. I also learnt how to get organized in order to build a business idea up from scratch.
