ABSTRACT={The aim of this paper is both to present the different financing tools available for the creation and development of start-ups and to discuss their relative efficiency for their. In France, the start-ups can have access to a large set of private and public funding in order to finance their seed and early stage developments. We present the different financial levers and we show that the growth of the start-ups is limited by what it is called a ‘financing gap’. Finally, we show that this financing gap could be filled, in part, thanks to new means of financing that are rapidly emerging.}}
