why?
systems are meant to be challenged. that's evolution. that's how nature works. systems need anomalies. and that's exactly what made me feel in love with startups: their capacity to f*ck with the rules. just like anomalies.
i once thought eu/fr startup scene was home but i was wrong... when i cared about the beauty of crafting good useful sh*t. many cared about fame. money. and their personal branding. felt like i was back to louis XIV era. so i lost hope.
then. a good friend introduced me to buildspace 🫶 a free place for ppl to make cool sh*t on their nights & weekends. i was surrounded for once by cool (and kind) ppl from all over the world. so i felt in love with tech again.
but buildspace shut down after. still. eu is full of anomalies. every week. i meet cool ones with crazy potential. but they are alone. they need home. homies. and enough money until pmf. otherwise? only rich kids build. cause they can afford to live for "free" until traction. that's why we keep getting the same ideas. same companies. same soft innovations.
eu doesn't need another commission for a commission of AI transition 🇪🇺 😂 eu needs to take care of its builders. so they don't leave or lose hope. for now. SF wins. but we can offer another option. we just need more real risk. believe in ppl. not spreadsheets. not diplomas. not past xp. not family names. that's how we invent crazy sh*t. that's how we all win. that's how we compete with the us and china. that's eu renaissance 2.0 that's anomalie.space 🏴☠️
ps: anomalie.space is free for builders thanks to our angels 🪽
how it works?
it's simple. basic.

we only have 3 rules: > make progress every week > show it to other folks > help others if you don't: you're out.

we will offer many cool stuff. you can stay as long as you want. we believe if you grow big enough. you will go somewhere else naturally :)
we believe the best way to create amazing ventures is to start small, follow an obsession and make weekly progress. yeah. it's that f*cking simple :)
have a question?
do i need to work on a specific project/field? 🛠️
nah. we don't care.
you can do what you want (from ai to robotics to movies..), just follow your passion. also, you can pivot as you want. it's normal.
do i need to be available full-time? ⏳
nah. we don't care.
you can progress as you want. we won't ask you to leave your job/school/intership/wife or whatever else. that's stupid.
but if you want to be full. go full :)
do i need to be in paris? 🇫🇷
nah. we don't care.
enjoy the online/offline xp :)
and if you want to drop by paris.
we'll be happy to welcome you.
is anomalie.space a hackerhouse? 🏠
nah. we don't believe it's the best way to do the real work.
we are providing a space to dream, work, help and get help, grow and chill.
but if you need help with hosting. we can figure out a solution.
is anomalie.space an accelerator? 🤔
donnu.. we don't care.
applications are open all time.
and we'll welcome a new cohort every 3 months.
our dream is to see people do crazy sh*t by starting small and making progress every week.
how do you make money? 💸
nah. we don't care.
EUUH.. yes. we care. cash is king.
we just don't want to select people based on who can afford the program.
we are an NGO. we don't care about profit. we are only seeking viability.
a question? please reach out 👋
made with ❤️ from the city of love.
