In the bustling world of entrepreneurship, the visibility of a start-up and the development of its business are crucial issues. But how can we truly assess the relevance of a start-up in the incessant whirlwind of conventional methods? SprintProject <\/em>stands out with its innovative \u201cSitting Startup\u201d approach, redefining the way startups make themselves known.<\/p>\n\n\n

How does a Sitting Startup work?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beyond the Traditional Startup Pitch<\/em><\/h3>\n

A Sitting Startup is a special moment where the founder of an innovative startup presents in depth the foundations of his project to Sprint expertsProject<\/em>. Going well beyond the standard startup pitch, they explore the founder's story, the genesis of the project, the strategy, the benefits of the solution, the composition of the team and the development stages of the young budding company. A qualitative approach that transcends the constraints of traditional pitching in a confidential setting.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a0<\/span>I found this meeting format very interesting and innovative. It differs from the traditional pitch by its simplicity and authenticity. Instead of presenting my project in a formal and standardized way, I was able to interact with the SprintProject teams in more depth. This allowed me to address more concrete aspects of my solution and to receive constructive and appropriate feedback. \"\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How the Meetings Take Place<\/em><\/h3>\n

Whether at the initiative of the founders or following an invitation from SprintProject<\/em>, a Sitting Startup takes place mainly in Sprint's premisesProject<\/em> in Saint-Cloud, in the Paris region, or by videoconference. These one-and-a-half-hour meetings allow the founders to interact with the experts<\/a> of SprintProject<\/em> in a setting conducive to professional and caring discussions.<\/p>\n

A Complete Assessment<\/em><\/h3>\n

As part of a Sitting Startup, SprintProject<\/em> positions itself not only as an exchange partner, but also as an evaluator.

This evaluation grid, made available to our clients, allows them to compare start-ups with each other and to give a constructive opinion on a startup when they meet it.<\/p>\n

From Continuous Monitoring to Strategic Opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Long-Term Monitoring<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to SprintProject's teams, we met DB Schenker who was looking with Les Triporteurs Fran\u00e7ais for a trailer with more capacity for transporting pallets. The solutions co-developed in this project were rewarded with an unprecedented double \u201cInnovation Prize\u201d and \u201cCoup de C\u0153ur Prize\u201d from the Kings of the Supply Chain 2023.\u00a0\"\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
