Founded in 2015, papernest is a French startup and member of the French Tech 120, which helps individuals manage their contracts and subscriptions on a daily basis.

Our platform enables individuals to combine, terminate, and subscribe to all their housing contracts - electricity, gas, internet, mobile, home insurance - in just a few clicks.

Today, housing contracts; tomorrow, all those of daily life: transport, streaming, gyms, etc. papernest's ambition is to become the platform from which anyone can centralise, optimise, and terminate all their subscriptions.
