Audience Award at the 1st edition of Qui Veut Parier Sur Un Dauphinois

✨Simply amazing!

The 1st edition of “Qui veut parier sur un Dauphinois?” (Who wants to bet on a Dauphinois?) was held on April 8th at Paris Dauphine University, bringing together 800 people, 6 renowned investors, and us, 9 student or alumni entrepreneurs from Université Paris Dauphine-PSL.

This unprecedented event, brilliantly created and co-organized by Noa Azria and Lea Abtan, will remain an unforgettable and emotionally rich evening for all the reasons mentioned below:

1️⃣ Returning to that huge Dauphine amphitheater that I frequented a few years ago 😊

2️⃣ Being selected through the application and pre-pitch stages… to reach the final with 8 other wonderful entrepreneurs Aprile Schimowski, Christelle Rasteiro, Kumar, Julien Loron, Fabien Nahum, Jules de Laender, Lucas Benacom, Mathis di Vittorio! Congratulations to all!

3️⃣ Being supported in the preparation by Paulin Rust and Archibald Bergonzo from the Master 224 Banking & Finance, and by Lea, Noa, Baptiste, always responsive! Thank you 🙏

4️⃣ Arriving on D-day - very stressed - but ready to take on the challenge…

4️⃣ Pitching in 3 minutes æquidem in front of an engaged jury and audience…

5️⃣ Feeling encouraged and supported…

6️⃣ Seeing familiar faces 🥰 in the audience giving you good vibes…

7️⃣ Leaving with the trophy…🏆

8️⃣ Having done it!

It is immense pride, of course, but above all, it's a strong signal: impact innovation is heard, it is credible, it is desirable. That is the victory!

With æquidem, I have been working for many months on an issue still too little explored: how can fashion become a lever for dignity, social connection, and well-being for young people facing a loss of autonomy (illness, accident)?

Our answer: a brand - but not just another brand - that combines design, functional innovation, and desirability to create clothing that adapts to the body and care needs, and not the other way around.

Thank you to the exceptional jury:
- Julian Jacob - Jury member of "Qui veut être mon associé?" (Who Wants to Be My Associate?)
- Christophe Aulnette - Former CEO Microsoft and Senior Advisor T&T at Seven2
- Arnaud Zilliox - 4th Business Angel France
- Carole Juge-Llewellyn - CEO of Joone
- Jerome Stioui - Partner, Serena and Co-founder Le Village des Enfants Extraordinaires
- Alessandro Casiraghi - Investment Manager, Blast Club

Thank you Genius Dauphine House of Entrepreneurship Dauphine, Incubateur Paris-Dauphine, Oriane Kerléguer, Baptiste Dupuis, Émilien Le Moel, and the top host Léo Bilfeld

Thank you Benjamin VANNIER, Florian Autricque, Guillaume Raoult, from Wild Code School who created my landing page in record time… while waiting for the brand's website!
