We empower BigBooster community through booster camps and tailored mentoring.
BOOSTERS
The success of the BigBooster program is fuelled by the commitment of its boosters: mentors, judges and experts from all over the world who support startups and detect the most promising ones.
Our boosters will help startups to validate their business model and adjust to increasing markets. Their expertise offers startups coaching and mentoring across a wide range of skills and specialties so they can properly step forward on their internationalization process.
DIFFERENT ROLES
Each year, we bring together around 180 boosters to share their experience and support entrepreneurs and to meet with their peers.

MENTORS
With international experience and a global vision in their field of activity, mentors work closely with startups on their global mindset.
During the BoosterCamp, they help, advise and direct groups or individuals.
During Go Global, they support one startup to explore a new market with advises, tips and follow-ups.
JUDGES
At the end of the BoosterCamp, the jury select 15 winning startups that participate in international matchmaking phase, “Go Global”.
They bring their expertise in one or more subjects.
Judges assess startups and share their feed-backs with them to help them grow.
EXPERTS
BigBooster experts have a key role in advising our startups through 1-to-1 sessions or workshops. They also contribute to the global innovation ecosystem and have the possibility to network with other high-profile experts across industries.
