On Thursday, May 16, 2019 in Nantes, we took part in the Monster Startup Golf Cup event.
An event dedicated to start-ups and golf.
It was structured around four key moments:
- A morning of content themed “Pivot at the right time, adapt to take off”, featuring Marie COUSSEAU (CIC OUEST), Julia JONCHERE (10Vins), and Sébastien BOURBOUSSON (Ecovélo).
Followed by a round table on “Better identify and assess candidates’ soft skills in order to recruit better.” with Karl RIGAL (Monster) and Erwann Rozier (Fly the nest).
- The morning concluded with a pitch competition supported by CIC.
More than 22 start-ups were able to pitch their project to an audience made up of companies, entrepreneurs, large groups, and investors.
The winners of the pitch competition are as follows:
- Directo Santé
- Beem Energy
- Peek’In
Moojvee Young Entrepreneurs Award: Obole Digitale
Audience Award: Matos BTP
Congratulations to them ?
The rest of the day was devoted to a team golf competition for some and an introduction on the driving range for others.
A competition with an original twist, as start-ups had the opportunity to set up a stand directly on the course. That is in fact the choice we made.
We therefore had a stand directly on the green of Golf Blue Green Nantes-Erdre.
An original experience that allowed us to meet companies throughout the day and present our solution to them between two shots.
Very interesting and enriching meetings.
Webmecanik Pipeline was also a partner of this edition by offering licenses to the winners of the competition.
The Monster Startup Golf Cup concluded with an afterwork on the golf driving range.
This event is organized by Hugues de Saint-Vincent, whom we thank for the opportunity he offered us.
If you too would like to take part, please note that there are other sessions of this event in other cities in France; here are the dates:
- Lille, June 13, 2019.
- Lyon, September 5, 2019.
- Bordeaux, October 3, 2019.

To conclude, the Monster Start-up Golf Cup is a very original event and perfect for golf lovers, but not only! An ideal moment to make enriching connections in a setting different from a meeting room.
We look forward to taking part again as competitors, if by then our golf level has improved.
