A Sharetribe Case Study
Swimmy, founded by Raphaëlle de Monteynard, is a marketplace that lets people rent private pools in France and Spain. Facing a highly seasonal business and not wanting the delay and cost of custom development, Swimmy used Sharetribe Go to launch quickly in July 2017 so the platform would work seamlessly for the summer season.
Sharetribe’s products enabled rapid validation and scaling: Swimmy attracted over 1,000 users in its first summer and has grown to more than 45,000 users across France and Spain, gaining national press coverage (Le 20 Heures de TF1, France Info, Le Parisien). In 2018 Swimmy migrated to Sharetribe Flex to support further growth without building a backend from scratch, allowing the four-person team to focus on growth, pursue profitability, and even donate part of their profits to charity.
