The story
Sport Orthèse was founded in 2013 as a French e-commerce retailer specializing in orthopedic equipment, sports compression, rehabilitation, and sports nutrition. The company operates both a B2C storefront and a dedicated B2B 'Espace Pros' portal offering professional discounts, installment payments, and equipment leasing via Grenke. It has remained a small niche retailer (~9 employees, ~$660K revenue) with embedded finance features limited to BNPL installment payments and Mollie-powered checkout.
