Alive Ideas is a team of french entrepreneurs trying to help ideas to go (a)live.

We are passionnate about developing ideas changing habits or eco-systems: news, shopping, leisure, content, mobile...

We have worked together for more than 15 years when we started Cyrealis, a French online media company based on the success of Clubic.com (leading tech-related online magazine) and Achetezfacile.com (compararison shopping), and the acquisition and growth of 4 other portals: Jeuxvideo.fr (videogame), Neteco (ebusiness), Mobinaute (mobile) and OZAP (entertainment).

After merging Cyrealis with the digital division of the M6 Group (#2 French private TV channel / subsidiary of RTL Group), we also launched Deco.fr (home-related portal) and Turbo.fr (automotive portal). After these successful launchs, M6 websites hit 15 million Unique Users (Nielsen//Netratings 10/2010).

While working for such a diversified group, we helped on our spare time several other business to grow, from a local brick-and-mortar restaurant to a global music-industry player.

In 2011, we decided to leave M6 Group to start a new adventure: alive ideas.

The mission of Alive Ideas is right there in our name: we bring ideas to life. To achieve this mission, we seek passionate teams with fun or revolutionnary ideas, and try to help them with some of the ingredients of success: business tips and smart money. We also develop our own ideas (such as Mapado.com), gathering code-gurus and marketing genius together.

Alive Ideas has had 4 exits. Alive Ideas most notable exits include Sketchfab ,   ProcessOut
