Amélie Madinier's Le Village by CA lost its usual hushed calm on Wednesday evening to host the launch of the third season of Start-up Stories, in which 10 start-uppers pitched their projects in front of a jury and a remote audience.

The jury was led by Diane Tea (LBAN), alongside Stéphane Pesch (LPEA), Jérôme Wittamer (Expon Capital), José Soares (SnT) and the first winner of the Start-up Stories, Ilana Devillers (Food 4 All),

Matteo Ressa whetted their appetite with his ChefPassport solution for creating interactive events with some fifty chefs from around the world.

Against the backdrop of covid-19, educational solutions also took centre stage. The jury was impressed by Ta-Da!, Michelle Glorieux’s educational audio book technology for children under 14 “imported” from Silicon Valley. Her worldwide distribution contract signed in October has assures her start-up a bright future, provided she finds the necessary funds for its development.

Also against the backdrop of covid-19, the jury lent an attentive ear to a project related to health and the detection of brain diseases, MyelinH. Zied Tayeb embarked on the adventure when her mother learned, too late, that she was suffering from a degenerative disease.
