As for Shark Tank in the US, who wants to be my partner? now uses guest investors. During the QVEMA broadcast of January 25, 2023, we therefore find Blaise Matuidi alongside Delphine André, Isabèle Chevalier or even Marc Simoncini.
The return of Blaise Matuidi in Who wants to be my partner?
Blaise Matuidi will score the third season of Who Wants To Be My Partner? becoming the first guest investor of the French issue. This practice is pretty common in the US version of the show called Shark tank.
However, if the footballer comes in QVEMA Season 3, this isn’t the first time he’s appeared on the M6 show. In fact, he was present during season 2 and had testified, via videoconference, the reasons that had prompted him to invest in a startup that came to present his pitch. This project is Aeklys, a creation designed by Philippe Stark made in ICARE Technologies, a startup in which Blaise Matuidi has stakes as an investor through his Origins fund.
In season 3 of Who Wants To Be My Partner?, Blaise Matuidi will play exactly the same role as Delfina André, Isabella Cavalier, Marco Simoncini or Eric Larcheveque. He will have to express his opinion on the projects launched by entrepreneurs and choose whether or not to invest in their startup. In the first trailers she already demonstrates how difficult this role is. He even appears amazed by the concept of a sports brand made with recycled and recyclable materials, as shown in the video posted by ProgramTV.net.
