I am really proud to be a part of the winners.(Mathieu from Psykosoft) I wasn't expecting this at all!

There are some amazing talent amongst the other start-ups, there is no losers in this kind of event.

Everybody learnt (including myself) so much during the mentoring sessions that it is already what i would consider winning.

I am sure some guys there (i am thinking of Bipsly for instance) have a huge potential and will do great but eventually don't have a very mature product yet.

The constant i see in the 'winning' (i should say 'selected') start-ups is that they have a finished product and already quite a bit of traction, therefore qualify more in a logical investor mind to a 'funding'. So it would be fairer to say the ones that "didn't win" just "didn't get selected for a funding" which happen all the time ;-)
