- Can you explain in a few words how your company was born? (Team, origin and originality of the project)
Two years ago, Adrien spent 6 month of internship in a big company, with not much social interactions with colleagues. At some point he was so desperate that he decided to anyway try to mail a few colleagues to organize a Tennis. From this moment, he had the chance to interact with many people from his company. Sportifly was born like this. The situation is clear, informal interactions in companies are limited and there are no tools to help you network in your company. Sport is an extremely powerful tool and we want to use it to break the ice between employees. We developed Sportifly, the platform that allows you to meet your colleagues, through sports.
- What is your first assessment of this entrepreneurial venture?
So far it is really time demanding but it is really stimulating every day. We know what we are working for and we see our impact daily.
- Have you been able to take advantage of the EDHEC graduate network at one time or another?
Yes! we quickly contacted many alumni working in big companies in France, in order to get in touch with the right people, the ones that would be in charge of setting up this kind of service.
- What advice can you give new entrepreneurs?
USE THE ALUNI NETWORK !
- What are the next steps for your business?
Our next step will be to have our first client and grow from there. We have already an up and running platform, our objective is to be part of the company’s services landscape and have an impact on employee’s well-being.
- Do you have expectations of the EDHEC graduate community? (Fundraising, search for collaborators, partners, advice, etc.)
Every alumni working in a big company needs Sportifly. We would be really happy to help them meet co-workers and increase their wellbeing at work.
