About La French Tech
New York
A volunteer-run, community-driven nonprofit mobilizing the French Tech ecosystem in the Big Apple and the greater New York metro area.
Mobilizing the French Tech Ecosystem in New York
La French Tech New York is the New York chapter of French Tech America — a curated support network of thousands of French entrepreneurs across the United States. We are a volunteer-run, community-driven nonprofit bringing together founders, investors, policymakers, and community builders from both French and American backgrounds.
Based in the NYC metro area, we serve over 400+ French entrepreneurs and C-level executives in tech startups, providing the connections, resources, and support they need to succeed in one of the world's most competitive markets.
Our community is built on a simple belief: that French entrepreneurs in New York are stronger together. We share best practices, celebrate each other's wins, and help each other navigate the unique challenges of building a company in the United States.
Part of a Global Movement
La French Tech New York is rooted in a global initiative launched in France to accelerate the growth of French tech startups worldwide. In New York, we've been building that community for over a decade.
La French Tech Global Initiative
La French Tech was launched by the French government as a brand and movement to support French tech startups worldwide. Today it encompasses hundreds of communities across the globe, from Paris to Singapore, London to São Paulo — and New York.
A Decade in New York
For over 10 years, La French Tech New York has been the home of French entrepreneurship in the Big Apple. We've hosted more than 18 events, helped dozens of companies establish their US presence, and grown our community to 400+ members across the NYC metro area.
