About RITRIT: a nonprofit startup

In 2018, after graduating from HEC Entrepreneurs, we created RITRIT with a desire: to find a way to bring beautiful, renewing experiences to life by making the doors of abbeys and monasteries in France and around the world more accessible.

Our goal? Build the leading spiritual retreat booking platform

Today, RITRIT has more than 160 partner abbeys, monasteries, and spiritual centers and facilitates over 8,000 reservations per month.

Our team: a director, a CTO (Chief Technical Officer), and a CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) responsible for growth and Customer Success + a communications manager (media/social networks) + an intern who handles 360-degree missions across each department.
