#5 Révèle
HEC Incubator
Révèle is the first sports brand dedicated to women engaged in contact sports. Today, women engaged in contact sports (rugby, boxing, roller derby,..) still have to buy their gear in the men’s or children’s dept. and the available protections are not adapted to either their morphology or their sport. To prevent risks of injury or heavy bruising on the bust, Révèle created the REVELIA: a lightweight protective second skin protection that encapsulates a soft and flexible shock absorption technology. The REVELIA and our technical training collection will get you ready for combat.
Go go Girls!
#6 Street4Fit
HEC Incubator
Street4Fit identifies experts in Fitness, Boxe, Cross-Fit, Parkour and Samba, usually from unprivileged areas. The concept is to enable those athletes to meet the employees of several companies for sessions, team buildings and customized trainings. No matter what social, economical, or cultural backgrounds they come from, coaches can start making money thanks to the startup and live decently. Street4Fit enables companies to upgrade the quality of life at work while having a social impact. They are a team of 3 people from HEC Paris, passionate about sports. And they recently have been selected among the 24 impact startups for Paris2024 by MakeSense and La Ville de Paris!
