Tech B2B
A technology product sold to companies, with the technology at the heart of the value.
Launched, with traction
The product is live and used, and you can prove it with numbers. We look at what last month did, not at the idea.
Real ambition
You are not building a comfortable local business. You are going after a market far bigger than the one you started in.
All in for five weeks
At least one founder full time, one day a week at Le Triplex, and the diary cleared. You come to push, not to watch.
Real conditions
Zero takes pieces of the Elevation programme and of the way we work: a desk at Le Triplex for five weeks, the weekly rituals, the experts, and the perks negotiated for Triplex members. The full programme runs six months and comes with an investment.
Why now
Elevation opens in 2027. We want one programme behind us before then, so we take five startups and no more. We select them the way we will select in 2027: being free does not lower the bar.
One cohort, once
We run Zero once, this autumn, and there is no second edition. Elevation itself will take startups all year, each at its own pace, from 2027.
Business
Structure your go-to-market and sign your first customers. Five weeks of outbound, calls and follow-ups, with a sales expert on the Outbound Day.
Product
Put your product-market fit in front of the market, not in a deck. What you learn in the field decides what you build next.
Funding
Get your next round ready. The numbers, the story and the file that an investment committee will actually read.
The five weeksA tight pace, every week.
Metric Monday
The week's numbers, set with the team.
Group Office Hours
A collective session with an outside expert.
Friday Wrap
A short review, with the numbers.
The Scoreboard
Objectives and results, in the open at Le Triplex.
Experts on call
Operators brought in when a subject calls for one.
Outbound Day
A full day of prospecting, led by a sales expert.
Fireside
A dinner with an entrepreneur who has already built one.
Build in public
One post a week on what you are building at Le Triplex.
Demo Day
A mini Demo Day, put together with you.
What we askNo fee, no equity. Four commitments instead.
Time at Le Triplex
At least one day a week. Your desk is there for the five weeks, next to the four other teams. Five weeks is short, and being in the room is what makes the difference.
Numbers in the open
Your objectives and your results, shared with the four other startups. That is the point of Zero, not a price to pay.
One post a week
Build in public on LinkedIn: what you are building, and that you are building it at Le Triplex. We give you a template and we relay it.
Straight feedback
What helped and what did not, on every format. That is how Zero gets better.
After ZeroA fast track into Elevation.
Zero is not a side event. A startup that goes through it applies to Elevation with the form and the first interview already behind it, and starts at the Deep Dive. Admission is never automatic: the committees stay, and so does the bar.

Five startups, once. Starts 9 November.
