Program Objectives
The U.S. Embassy in France created Start US Up in 2014 to support new entrepreneurs and reinforce the leadership skills and networked needed to succeed as an entrepreneur. The program aims to provide participants both with activities that build the hard skills an entrepreneur needs (pitching, drafting a business plan, financial management) and sports activities that help build self-confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills also needed in a successful entrepreneur. The 2022 program will also include gatherings of the Start US Up alumni club around networking and follow-up events; the maintenance of an alumni online directory; as well as English classes for the participants to learn how to pitch their entrepreneurial projects in an international environment.
