Why sign up for the competition?

If you’re a startup or an SMB, this isn’t just “another event.” It’s a real experience that gives you visibility with the people who can move your business forward. There are only 10 pitch spots per city, so being selected already signals quality. You pitch in front of investors and ecosystem leaders, get direct feedback, and spark the kind of warm conversations that usually take months to unlock.

And if you win? You unlock the San Francisco experience — a Silicon Valley immersion week full of meetings, workshops, and high-value networking. It’s your chance to land in the right rooms, meet the right people, and gain a first foothold in the U.S.

If you’re a partner or sponsor, this is your direct line to ambitious founders and scaling SMB decision-makers. You don’t just get logo placement — you get presence, trust, and access to a curated pool of companies who are actively building, hiring, raising, and buying. You meet them early, start real conversations, and position your brand as the one that helps them take the next step from France to San Francisco.
