How to add your startup to MyFrenchStartup
TL;DR
MyFrenchStartup is a Paris-based database of startups in France that says it lists 30,000 French startups with their founders, investors and funding rounds. Adding or claiming your startup profile is free, and the FAQ says it always will be. The paid plans (Premium at 89 euros a month or 900 euros a year) are for people who search the data, such as investors and corporates.
What is MyFrenchStartup?
MyFrenchStartup is a database and SaaS tool for the French startup ecosystem, published by MYFRENCHSTARTUP SAS in Paris. It builds profiles from news, founder updates and French open data, and says it holds 8 years of normalised data. On 30 October 2026 its homepage listed the latest rounds, such as 51 million euros for SkillCorner and 4.1 million euros for Cementic, next to newly created startups and sector trends.
Each startup profile shows sector, region, tags, headcount, founding year, share capital, founders, address, website, SIRET number, legal form, NAF code and the detected tech stack. Funding details, phone and email sit behind a login.
Who should add a startup to MyFrenchStartup?
- Startups registered in France: profiles are built around French company data such as the SIRET and NAF codes.
- Founders preparing a seed or Series A round who want investors to see accurate numbers.
- Startups hiring interns: posting an internship is free, and MyFrenchStartup emails offers to its student community every month.
- Skip it if your company is registered outside France. A directory for your own country fits better.
How much does MyFrenchStartup cost?
Listing a startup is free. Fundraising contact is free as well: you fill in the fundraising form and investors contact you directly. The paid plans are for data users:
- Try free: 0 euros, no card, 10 results per search, 10 startup views per day and editing of your own startup.
- Premium: 89 euros a month or 900 euros a year per user, with unlimited searches, 100 results per search, custom alerts and dealflow access.
- Business: price on quote, for investors, corporates and public bodies, with market studies, API data and multi-user accounts.
Read the sign-up text before you accept it. The free account comes with one condition: you agree that MyFrenchStartup shares your data with its commercial partners so they can send you offers. A paid subscription gives the same content without that data sharing. On the profile we checked, the website link had no nofollow attribute.
How do you share your startup on MyFrenchStartup?
- Open the add my startup page and create an account with your name, work email and phone, job title, company, city and profile type ("Entrepreneur").
- Search the database for your company first, since MyFrenchStartup creates profiles from open data and yours may already exist.
- If it exists, send a link request ("demande de liaison") from your personal space. A moderator approves it, and you can then edit the profile.
- If it does not exist, add your startup from your personal space with description, sector, founders, website and social links.
- Use the same space to post a press release, an internship or a fundraising request.
Tips to get more out of MyFrenchStartup
- Claim your profile before a funding announcement, so the round appears next to your own description and website.
- Write a short tagline in plain French, the way Alan's profile says L'assurance santé qui fait simple.
- Fill in founders, headcount and tags: they feed the sector comparisons that investors read.
Our verdict
MyFrenchStartup is a free, active database for startups in France, and claiming a profile takes one request and a moderator check. The real price sits in the sign-up consent, because the free account shares your data with partners. Claim the profile, keep it accurate and skip Premium unless you search the data yourself.
