CultureSecrets

Founded in 2014 by Krystyna Winckler, CultureSecrets is a Paris-based startup that provides curated access to the city's cultural scene. The company operates as a private circle, offering its members privileged entry to a wide range of exclusive cultural events. These include private visits to exhibitions, meetings with artists, theatrical performances, concerts, and unique culinary experiences. The service is designed for individuals interested in exploring Paris's arts and culture beyond mainstream offerings, providing access to events that are often not publicly available.

The business model is centered around a subscription-based "Culture Card." Customers purchase a digital or physical card that contains a set number of tickets (e.g., 4, 10, or 20). These tickets can then be used to book events from a weekly updated selection of over 500 annual experiences curated by the company's art experts. This model aims to simplify cultural choices for its users while offering exclusive and high-quality programming. The company primarily targets the B2C market of culture enthusiasts in Paris. In July 2017, CultureSecrets secured an undisclosed amount in an angel funding round from investor Rodrigo Sepulveda Schulz.
