PSL-Pépite 2017: Welcome to Our New Student Entrepreneurs
With 52 students and 42 new projects underway, PSL-Pépite, PSL’s program for student entrepreneurs, will kick off the academic year on September 14. PSL students can still apply to join the 2017 class.
This year’s students hail from Paris-Dauphine, EHESS, ENS, ENSAD, Beaux-Arts de Paris, EPHE, EPSCI Paris and PSL, among other institutions. They have an average age of 24, 40% are young women, and they’re all motivated by the same desire to start a business.
The PSL-Pépite program will provide these student entrepreneurs with a year’s worth of flexible support, along with access to the services and skills they need for their start-up. Hosted by the PSL-Lab, a PSL center for innovation, the students will each be able to work on their chosen projects at their own pace.
Four entrepreneurial tracks will be available, based on the student’s level of education (Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD): introductory, pre-support, support and independent.
If you’re a PSL student and you’d like to join the 2017 class of entrepreneurs, submit your application by October 9 at the student entrepreneur website. The next group of candidates will be selected on October 19, 2017.
PSL-Pépite is designed for any PSL student or recent alumnus with an entrepreneurial project or simply a desire to start a business. Its aim is to provide those students with the skills, services and support they need to make their project a reality.
