The cost of support depends on the number of advisory hours required and completed by the project leader.
Success fee
The Bench’s compensation is contingent upon the successful completion (even partial) of the fundraising round with the investors introduced, and will take the form of a one-time success fee.
For this phase, The Bench does not charge any fixed fee.
No prior entrepreneurial experience required, just an initial idea is enough
All entrepreneurs committed to advancing environmental and/or social impact, who aim to scale their venture and raise funding, regardless of sector, and whose project has been approved by our selection committee.
Entrepreneurs wishing to join the Emeraude program are invited to get in touch with The Bench through this link.
After an initial series of discussions, The Bench will convene a jury composed of the core team, partners, innovation vertical leads, and expert mentors to decide whether the candidate will be admitted to the Emeraude program.
Each application is carefully reviewed according to our selection criteria: innovation, environmental or social commitment, economic viability, and responsible governance. The candidate is then notified of the final decision regarding their participation in the program.
Yes, absolutely. The program is fully à la carte. You can activate support sessions according to your specific needs and availability, in coordination with the schedules of our experts and mentors.
The number of advisory hours varies from one project to another, depending on each startup’s specific needs, the recommendations made by The Bench team, the pace set by the entrepreneur, and their budget. Emeraude is a fully à la carte program.
Oui. The Bench propose également des programmes de formation continue destinés aux entreprises et leur salariés : The Bench ExecEd
Yes, this is possible through our partner and associate Naama, which offers several coworking spaces across the Île-de-France region. You can get in touch with your incubation coordinator to benefit from preferential rates.
The Bench has chosen not to include office space within its programs in order to focus on what matters most: high-quality support that truly structures and accelerates the development of your project. In addition, evolving work practices mean that workspace needs are now quite limited among the founders we support.
No. Our programs are not currently eligible for funding through the French Personal Training Account (CPF). However, we are working on it.
Yes. You can absolutely pay for the program through your company. An invoice will be provided.
