What is the show “Who wants to be my partner?” »
The show Who wants to be my partner aims to support young startups in their quest for entrepreneurship. Project leaders must present their concept to a jury of six major emblematic figures from the business world. The goal is to convince them to invest in their startup and thus find a partner who will guarantee the success of their business. The latter will provide part of the capital against a percentage of the company to the winners.
The lucky ones will be able to benefit from advice and financing from one of the six experienced entrepreneurs whose reputation precedes them. The members of the jury will have the freedom to follow the project that they like the most. The only rule to respect is that, if the percentage of the company obtained can be negotiated, the amount invested cannot be less than that initially requested by the project leader.
The show has a very specific goal: to democratize entrepreneurship and promote its image among the French, while encouraging entrepreneurs who do not have the courage to start and who are full of resources and ingenuity.
According to a study carried out by YouGov for Maddynessthe image of entrepreneurship has greatly evolved in the eyes of the French thanks to the show. 54% of respondents admit “have a positive image of entrepreneurship, compared to 6% a negative image (and 33% neither positive nor negative). »
