The Competition
6–8 founders. One stage. Real judges. A live audience of builders, investors, and operators. No fluff — just what you're building and why it matters.
A stage that matches your ambition.
The Pitch is Sandbox Réseau's flagship pitch competition — a live event where early-stage founders present their startups to a panel of judges and a room full of builders, operators, and investors.
It's not a demo day. It's not a panel. It's a stage. You have 5 minutes to make your case, followed by 3 minutes of real questions from people who've been in the trenches.
Our evaluation criteria for the shortlist.
Show us what you've built and who's using it. Users, revenue, or validated demand.
Who's building this? We back founders who can ship and iterate.
Is this a real problem? How big is the opportunity?
Can you explain what you do in 60 seconds? Signal, not fluff.
