01The problem

Startups are a different buyer. Sold the same way, they don't buy.

Different cycle.

Corporates decide in 12–18 months on renewed line items. Founders decide in 6–12 weeks, personally, with cash they argue for each time.

Different product.

Corporates buy square metres and visibility. Startups buy pipeline, investor meetings and proof - and ask "can I pay later".

Different channel.

Account managers and renewals don't reach founders. Outbound, community, media and peers do.

Insourcing looks cheaper on the spreadsheet. Then the area is half empty and the programme gets cancelled. The commission you saved is the most expensive money you never spent.

02The engine

A dedicated startup sales engine, plugged into your show.

Founder-native reps

People who only sell events to startups - scripts, objections and follow-ups built on 10 years.

Pipeline, not a list

25,000 startups scouted a year, filtered on your verticals, enriched, sequenced, worked.

Financing built in

BNPL on the booth: startups spread the cost, you get paid upfront.

Package design

Rebuilt around what founders buy: meetings, visibility, investors - not m².

Weekly reporting

Leads, conversations, proposals, closed - live in your app.sesamers.com dashboard.

03The record

Ten years of villages, boosters and investor days.

The programmes we run or have run, and what each one proves. Ask for the per-show breakdown on the call.
