Our History

Founded in 2018 and launched in 2020, we at bsport are transforming the boutique wellness industry with our all-in-one technology platform.

What began as a marketplace envisioned by Zakaria Mansour and Sofian Medbouhi quickly evolved into a B2B SaaS model, designed to empower studios to grow and thrive.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we acted fast—developing a live-streaming and VOD tool in just 48 hours to support our partners in maintaining seamless operations.

Since then, we’ve grown exponentially, securing €800K in Seed funding in 2020 and €3.5 million in Series A funding in 2022 to enhance our platform and expand globally.

Today, with over 160 team members across offices in Paris, London, Barcelona, and the USA, we proudly support more than 2,000 studios worldwide. End of 2024, we raised €30 million in Series B funding, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and the success of our partners.

From reservations to payroll, marketing, and advanced data insights, we provide everything studios need to build loyalty, maximize revenue, and scale their business efficiently.

Our mission is to unlock the potential of wellness professionals through the power of tech innovation.

Born in Paris to a working-class family of four children, Zakaria completed his schooling in the 18th arrondissement before joining the preparatory classes at Lycée Henri-IV.

With an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, he launched his first business at just 14 years old, selling custom-burned CDs. In 2012, he enrolled at ESCP Business School while simultaneously pursuing a bachelor's degree in fundamental mathematics at the Pierre and Marie Curie University.

After spending a year at the Paris-based consulting firm Stanwell, Zakaria moved to Barcelona in early 2017 and joined Carts Guru, where he quickly rose from SDR to Head of Sales in just ten months.

In 2018, Zakaria co-founded bsport with Sofian, marking the beginning of a revolution in fitness studio management.

Born in a village near Clermont, Sofian moved to Paris for his higher education.

He pursued a dual degree program at ESCP and CentraleSupélec but didn’t stop there; he also complemented his education with numerous mathematics degrees, including one from the University Paris I - Panthéon-Sorbonne and El Karoui.

Passionate about programming and AI, he began his career in quantitative research and Machine Learning in the banking sector. In 2017, he became the CTO of Codex, an algorithmic trading software for cryptocurrencies.

In 2018, he co-founded bsport with Zakaria, combining their shared vision to revolutionise the fitness industry through technology.

Born in the suburbs of Paris, Marc pursued a dual education at CentraleSupélec and UC Berkeley, specializing in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

His professional journey took root in Silicon Valley, where he began at Criteo, building large-scale machine learning systems. He then joined Amazon, where he worked on innovative tools for frontend development, gaining valuable experience in scalable software architecture and user interface technologies.

Initially a business angel and board member, Marc became a late founder at bsport in 2022, bringing his extensive tech industry experience to help scale the company.

Now serving as Chief Product Officer, Marc is committed to crafting transformative solutions for boutique studios, blending technical precision with innovative thinking to redefine the industry.
