Pitch
Come and defend your project in front of a jury made up of farmers, investors, experts and major groups.
The accelerator has been created in partnership with the HEC Paris incubator to allow you to benefit from all the resources of the HEC ecosystem and to support your project in the best conditions.
"In just a few weeks, Hectar has given us the opportunity to interact with some incredible people who are experts in their field. Their training and network are essential to the implementation of our sales and growth strategies."
"HECTAR is more than a simple accelerator, it is our 'family partner'. It helps us to scale up with a real vision of the sector and a benevolent support on all our issues."
"At each issue, HECTAR connected us with business experts to help us understand the problem. Above all, HECTAR pushes us to go beyond the paradigms of startups that do not adapt to the agricultural world."
"This accelerator program allows us to be in contact with farmers and a network of experts. We are happy to have the Hectar team by our side as they are very involved in supporting our growth."
"I really like the class spirit we have with the other accelerated startups. I feel like I'm in the right place and I appreciate the fact that the program adapts to us: pragmatic and flexible."
