The mission of Dahlia is to connect people through real interactions by proposing to them to meet each other through events.

Our adventure began in 2022 when our founder Grégoire created the designs of what would become Dahlia. He started this project when he realized that a lot of people were disconnected from each other. They would have hundreds of friends on social media but not that many in real life : we live in a world where we’ve never been so digitally connected to each other and at the time so disconnected in real life.

At the beginning Dahlia was supposed to be an app purely based on groups, but Grégoire realized that the best way to connect people and make new friends was through events.

The first operational version of the app was done in mid 2023 and we did our pre-launch on the 30 of november 2023. With the pre-launch we learned a lot about the needs of our users and what we had to fix to take it to the next level. We also realized that we would need to implement way more features than what we planned, in order to satisfy the very various needs of the people and associations using the app. After a hard year of struggling and improving Dahlia, we finally launched the app at the beginning of 2025!

Despite a lot of the obstacles we had to face we are now more than ready. With 100 partnerships with associations and some partnerships in process with some of the biggest universities in France, we are just at the beginning of this adventure.
