OUR MISSION
That everyone can live and thrive where they grew up.
The hummingbird legend
One day, a massive fire ravages the forest. All animals flee in terror. Only the tiny hummingbird stays, carrying a few drops of water in its beak to throw on the flames.
The armadillo, annoyed, says: Hummingbird, you are crazy! Do you really think those few drops will put out the fire?
I know, but I am doing my part.
The heritage
The caffe sospeso is a Neapolitan tradition from the early 20th century: a customer pays for two coffees, one for themselves and one suspended at the bar for a stranger. COLHYBRI extends this principle to every neighborhood service.
French mutualism was born in 1806 with the first mutual aid societies. 220 years later, Social Security and the large mutuelles shape the French social landscape. COLHYBRI extends this tradition into the digital economy.
COLHYBRI digitizes these traditions for the 21st century: mutualization, anonymous solidarity, no intermediary.
The founder
Florent Gibert. Self-taught. From construction and delivery to fintech. From Marseille to Occitanie. The vision was born from a simple observation: downtowns are emptying while their residents aspire to more community. COLHYBRI is the answer.
