about this room
Five startups pitch to a jury of investors and founders who tell them, with no filter, what works, what doesn't and why. Second edition at 42 Paris, after a first one with Alexis Robert of Kima Ventures.
Doors 18:30, roast 19:00 to 20:00, then pizza and networking until 21:00. Projects get challenged on idea, market, business model and potential. Jury names haven't been announced yet. Founders at idea, MVP or launched stage can apply to pitch until 19 November; you don't need to pitch to attend.
Free, approval-based sign-up. 42 Paris, 96 boulevard Bessières, Paris 17e. Organised by 42 Entrepreneurs; the event page is in French and English.
watching five founders defend their numbers live teaches more than most pitch workshops. Good for early-stage founders prepping a raise and anyone curious what Paris investors push back on.
