About ASES France
ASES (Affiliated Stanford Entrepreneurial Students) was founded at Stanford University in 1989 with the goal of connecting student entrepreneurs all over the world. Today, active ASES chapters provide educational programs on entrepreneurship, design, and venture capital for students across the globe.
We challenge our members to think beyond Silicon Valley and solve global problems.
The France chapter launched in 2025 to bring this same culture of entrepreneurship to French students. We plan to host multiple founder events, investor networking, demo days, and community dinners to create a place where French student founders can feel welcome.
Our Mission
We’re creating spaces for ambitious students to meet, build, and launch together.
By students, for students.
