Who is behind EKNA?
Florine & Ibrahim
Where did the idea come from?
It all started during the 2020 lockdown... Like many people during this period, we had time to think about the future.
Ibrahim thinks back to all the trips from Lille to Paris that he was able to make for his work, his difficulties in finding accommodation in the Paris region while working as a temporary worker, and finally, the discovery of shared accommodation ! By being roommates both at his home in Lille, but also at Valérian's during the week, the idea had slowly germinated, finally coming to life in March 2020.
The beginnings...
And why not imagine a solution that facilitates access to shared accommodation? We are starting a first draft of a website, but no. In fact today, it's much better to imagine a mobile application to simplify procedures and have everything at your fingertips! And, we set about modeling a customer journey, we look for partners, and… in January 2022 we are incubated. EKNA will finally see the light of day in May 2022 after 2 years of ideation.
And now ?
EKNA is developed and now we added a mobile application for people looking for shared accommodation, and a platform for landlords (individuals or professionals) in order to manage their accommodation advertisements and the choice of their roommates! But this is only the beginning, and we promise you more great features to come!
