It all starts in June 2022, we send our application to the show in June 2022. In total, the production receives more than 3000 applications.
In July, M6 announced to us that we were selected! Among the 3000 applications, only 40 entrepreneurs are chosen to participate in the show, it's crazy!
After joy and excitement, come doubts and fear. Quite simply “How are we going to do it?!” »
Filming is in September, which leaves us the month of August to imagine all the possible scenarios.
Pitch, scenography...you have to address viewers and investors at the same time, make an impression while talking about business, and all that in front of 10 cameras.
With Anouk, we were going to address investors for the first time. We knew in advance that on the day of filming we were going to be super stressed so we worked a lot to be ready for the big day.
We worked on our pitch, we learned it by heart because the stress was going to take over.
We even practiced saying our pitch with pens in our mouths to articulate it well.
This show could change the future of DIJO, it was the most stressful moment of our lives.
On TV you will see a 5 minute segment.
In reality, our discussions on set lasted more than 1h30.
First we roll out our pitch to the investors.
Then the investors ask us all their questions, and it lasts more than an hour.
The time comes for feedback from investors on our project and possible proposals.
No special effects, everything is filmed in one take, there are no second chances!
It was intense, we gave everything, and it took us 2 days to recover.
More than ever, we stepped out of our comfort zone and it was so worth it.
We can't wait until February 1st to share this moment with you!
