Discover Active, a company created by Antoine Artillan, Corentin Jacquet, Erik Herpin and Benoît Frapiccini, graduates of the 2019 class of TELECOM Nancy!
The project
Active allows the organization, promotion and animation around group activities. These activities can be of various and varied natures: sport, music, games, outings etc. Active thus allows companies, associations and individuals to offer their activities directly on the platform and for users to participate.
The origin of the project
This project originates from a competition organized by Quai Alpha in Epinal in January 2019.
During the weekend of this competition, the 4 founders developed their idea from this one: “What if we did Blablarando? “. It was originally a joke, but this name led them to build a much more complete project, and ultimately very close to the one they are doing today.
Following this competition, they decided to truly build a startup around this idea once their studies were completed. This is how the startup Active was born in October 2020.
