The Celonis-owned visual automation platform, which already has over 200 STATION F startups in its program, is establishing a permanent on-campus presence in Paris, targeting France as a strategic growth market. Offerings include one-on-one mentorship, workshops, and hackathon participation.
Make, the visual automation and AI agents platform owned by process mining giant Celonis, has opened a Mentorship Office at STATION F, the Paris startup campus known as the world’s largest.
This move provides Make with a permanent physical presence at a campus hosting over 1,000 early-stage companies at any time, marking France as a priority market for the Czech-headquartered platform in the competitive no-code automation space.
Make, formerly known as Integromat, is a visual-first platform that allows teams to build automated workflows and AI agents without coding, connecting apps, services, and data pipelines via a drag-and-drop interface.
Under CEO Fabian Q. Veit, the company has grown to over 100,000 paying customers and is nearing €100 million in annual recurring revenue, according to Veit’s public statements. The platform competes with Zapier, n8n, and Microsoft Power Automate in the no-code workflow area.
“Europe’s startup ecosystem is producing world-class founders, and they deserve world-class tools. By joining STATION F, we’re putting Make directly in the hands of the teams that need automation the most, ambitious teams doing big things with limited resources,” said Fabian Q. Veit.
The Mentorship Office format at STATION F is well established: Apple, AWS, Google, OVHcloud, Twilio, Snowflake, and others have all run similar on-campus spaces, offering office hours, workshops, and direct access to their teams for the campus’ founder community.
Make’s initiative will offer one-on-one mentorship sessions to assist startups in identifying automation opportunities, workshops on everything from onboarding to scaling complex operations, participation in STATION F hackathons and networking events, and direct engagement with founders and partners across the campus ecosystem.
More than 200 STATION F startups have already joined Make’s existing Startup Programme, indicating genuine demand for the platform on campus before the formal office launch.
STATION F, which opened in 2017 in a converted railway depot in Paris’s 13th arrondissement, has supported over 8,000 startups since its launch and hosts around 50 new companies monthly.
The campus runs over 30 support programs, connects founders with a network of over 600 investors, and stages more than 600 events annually. Startups on campus collectively raise over €1 billion per year.
France has become one of Europe’s leading startup ecosystems: Paris startups raised over €1.3 billion in AI funding in 2024 alone, accounting for roughly half of all European AI investment that year.
For Make, the strategic rationale is clear: early-stage startups rapidly adopt automation tools because they need to operate with limited resources and cannot afford the headcount to manually replace repeatable processes.
Embedding directly at STATION F positions the company at the moment founders are making their first infrastructure decisions, before habits and vendor loyalties are established.
