Only one exists

The Centre Chest — from €150

Dead centre of the front, 24 × 12 cm. It's the first thing people read when I walk up to them, and it's in every photo taken from the front.

  • The largest print on the front of the tee
  • Eye level in every conversation, badge scan and selfie
  • In every front-facing photo from the three days

It's position #1 on the front. When it's taken, the only way in is to outbid.

Hi, I'm Youssef

I build startups and write code, in that order. The rest is on LinkedIn, if you're that curious.

The money gets me a week in San Francisco. You get a piece of my tee and three days of walking PR.

Outbid? You get every euro back. No catch, just a guy in a t-shirt covered in logos.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Wave by Vento?

It's the tech conference in Turin that was called Italian Tech Week until 2025, now run by the venture fund Vento. The 2025 edition had more than 15,000 attendees and speakers like Jeff Bezos. For 2026 the organisers announce 200+ speakers, 1,500+ investors and 1,500+ startups at OGR Torino, 7–9 October.

Is this for real?

Yes. I'm Youssef, a software engineer and founder from Italy. I'm going to Wave by Vento in Turin and I'll be wearing this exact tee, covered in the winning logos, for all three days.

What happens if someone outbids me?

Your full bid is refunded automatically to the card you paid with, and the spot updates live on this page. Banks usually take 5–10 days to show the refund. You can bid again straight away.

Do I pay anything else if I win?

No. You pay your whole bid when you place it, so if you're still on top when bidding closes on 1 October at 20:00 (Rome time), you're done.

Can you refuse a logo?

Yes. I check every brand before it shows up on the site. No gambling, adult content, scams or anything I wouldn't want on my chest. If I refuse your bid, you get every euro back.

My logo is white. Will it work on the tee?

Send the version made for light backgrounds. DTF prints in full colour, so dark and bold logos read best on white. If yours gets lost on the fabric, I'll reach out before printing.

Will you post about the sponsors?

Every winning logo gets a link on this page, and I'll tag winners in my recap post after the event. There are no guaranteed impressions — it's a person at a conference, not an ad network.

Can I bid on more than one spot?

Sure. Each spot is a separate bid and a separate payment.

Do I get a receipt?

Stripe emails you a receipt for every payment. If your company needs something else, write to me before you bid.
