Complete and customized support
Every entrepreneur has to deal with key issues such as writing a business plan, making financial forecasts or choosing a legal structure. To make the right choices, budding entrepreneurs need advice and support. Entrepreneurs also have to overcome doubt, uncertainty, and setbacks–frequent occurrences throughout the process.
The ISC Paris incubator puts people first and business plans second. Becoming an entrepreneur is an ongoing learning process–it involves lots of meetings, informed opinions, targeted responses, and many hours of work.
The incubator offers a variety of tools to guide, assist, and support entrepreneurs: mentorship with experienced volunteer mentors, and coaching for creating a business plan.
Conditions for accessing the incubator
The incubator is available to all ISC Paris Group students and graduates.
Selection is done throughout the year, based on an application and an interview with a jury.
Places may be awarded to entrepreneurs from the school’s partner educational institutions or businesses.
