With all of that said, there are two obvious ways Santander or any other incumbent bank could partner with Curve. The first would be to adopt the full Curve platform, perhaps within a co-branded/white label offering, to give customers all of Curve’s functionality or a major subset of it. This would provide Curve with access to millions of new customers and the partnering bank a major innovation leg up and a way to improve the experience and engagement of those customers. A full partnership with Curve would also give banks a way to get on the front-foot ready for a post-PSD2 world that is seeing a plethora of fintech startups attempt to become the hub of your financial life by aggregating your financial data and re-bundling various financial products dermes. The second is perhaps less ambitious but equally beneficial to both parties, which is for Santander or any bank to partner with Curve’s upcoming Curve Connect platform, a kind of app store for financial products. This could include loans and credit, loyalty, and even savings (think roundups or so-called micro-savings), accessible through Curve Connect but provided by a partner bank. And that is likely just scratching the surface. Inside Station F, the startup megacampus that just opened in Paris Station F is the world’s biggest startup campus. Thousands of entrepreneurs are currently moving into the new building here in Paris. But if you’re still wondering what it actually looks like, we visited Station F and interviewed the two persons behind it — Roxanne Varza and Xavier Niel reenex. Station F is a massive building that has been completely renovated and now features thousands of desks, dozens of conference rooms, VC firms, a stage and more. It’s the size of the Eiffel Tower laying down, and it’s quite impressive in person. Station F has been years in the making. French billionaire Xavier Niel spent hundreds of millions of euros to purchase and transform the building into a sort of central hub for the French tech ecosystem with Roxanne Varza at the helm. The various open office areas are divided into many different pieces. Some chunks of the building are managed by Station F’s partners, such as Facebook, Zendesk, Vente-Privée, HEC, Microsoft, etc. Those big tech companies pick young startups to come and work at Station F and collaborate with them Load Balancing.
