MonLivreSMS on Shark Tank-style French TV: our pitch story
January 2024, on French TV. Joachim sets a pink book down in front of the investors. Inside: a story no shop could sell him.
Your messages are treasures the cloud can forget. Joachim anchors them in time. Paper never crashes: it's humanity's hard drive.
The gift he couldn't find
For the anniversary of the day they met, he wanted a gift. Not another object. Something that would tell a bit of their story.
He looked. Nothing like it existed. So he printed the messages by hand: the words, the photos, a QR code to watch the videos again. In love, motivated, and a real challenge. That's what he says in the clip.
What stopped the investors
Not the pitch. A detail in the book.
You read the page, you scan, and the video from that day comes back. Anthony Bourbon talks about it. He joined the adventure afterwards.
After the show
Television made the idea known across France. The gesture stayed the same.
Your chats become a book you can hold, or a PDF. No more building it page by page.
