This Wednesday, January 11, 2023, viewers of Who wants to be my partner? have discovered an amazing invention that camouflages noises and smells in the toilet.
Plants that can light up cities, apartments dedicated to women victims of violence, birds to raise without cages and in apartments… For its third season, Who wants to be my partner? relies on surprising, responsible and ecological inventions. With Cushion d’air, Olivier Cibidé has come to present an object in which he believes in front of five investors.
A project that has not convinced investors to do so Who wants to be my partner?
But at the end of its passage, none of the five investors in front of him wanted to put any money. It must be said that several problems were raised by Eric Larchevèque, Delphine André, Jean-Pierre Nadir or even Anthony Bourbon – whom he had already got to know – and Isabèle Chevalier. The first is interest: is there really a market for this type of product? Furthermore, it is the company’s valuation that raises questions: Olivier Cibidé thus offers 2 million euros, which seem too high, especially to Marc Simoncini. A “trick question” for the entrepreneur, who explained to Tele-leisure what “talking about evaluation on something that doesn’t exist, doesn’t make sense”, and what has “always fought the business plan.” A few months after the shooting, he nevertheless agreed to take stock of the future of his business.

“I don’t have time to deal with it”
Left without investor after Who wants to be my partner?, the Air Cushion project, which required five years of development in the laboratory, therefore caused a sensation. But even so, Olivier Cibidé does not admit defeat: “I hope this eventually leads to something”, tell us. If he hasn’t found any new investors since the shooting, he’s disclosing it anyway “have contacts in the United States”and be convinced that it is an invention “useful for people” : “There are people for whom it is a real problem,” citing his personal experience traveling with his girlfriend, but also that of a friend of his, who had trouble going to the bathroom while his family was around.
