STARTUPS MADE IN HEC

Who is the programme designed for?

The HEC Paris Incubator is aimed at motivated and committed entrepreneurs, and in particular :

  • Ambitious & Conscious: You aim big for your startup and for future generations. Your goal must be to create a positive value around you and plan to build a global champion.
     
  • Executor: Ideas are cheap, execution is everything! You are perpetually hungry, and willing to go to any length to take action and push your project further.
     
  • Collaborative: Our community is only as strong as the engagement of its members. You adhere to the mindset of sharing resources, network, and knowledge between each other and with the Incubateur HEC Paris. 
     
  • Knowledgeable: You are perfectly knowledgeable and passionate about your industry and topic, able to talk for hours about your competition, what you are doing right or wrong, and what changes you will be able to capitalize on.
     
  • Humble: you can constantly submit your product to the criticism of all, and to actively seek the feedback that will become the source of future growth.
     
  • Unique: If you are afraid you might not fit the profile of a typical HEC entrepreneur, good news! Diversity is one of our tenets and we aim for our entrepreneurs to broaden each other’s horizons

If you don't feel you tick all the boxes, don't forget that entrepreneurs are made to break the rules, and that one of our recruitment paradigms is diversity. Those are more general guidelines that orient the way we build our community.
