What ShareAmi does

Oldyssey, operated by Old Stories Production (a Paris-registered SARL with €1,000 share capital), is a French non-profit documentary media organization founded circa 2017 by director of publication Clément Boxebeld. The platform produces and distributes documentary-style video and audio content focused on intergenerational connections, elderly artisans, traditional crafts, culinary heritage, and innovative social models that bridge generations. Content is organized into themed series: "Vieux de la vieille" (elderly craftspeople profiles), "Les vieux pots" (culinary artisans), "Le tour de France" (regional intergenerational initiatives), "Vieux du monde entier" (international aging solutions), and the "Coups de vieux" podcast (societal attitudes toward aging and intimacy).

The underlying technology stack is a content-led web platform built on Webflow, with episodes delivered via on-demand streaming on oldyssey.org, complemented by organic distribution on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram (including a secondary "Oldyssey Portraits" channel), and a bi-monthly email newsletter called "Papyrus." The platform has no paywall, app, or AI-driven features; it functions as a traditional media outlet with manual editorial production.

The business model is donation-based: Oldyssey operates as an association/registered media organization supported by member contributions and donations processed through the HelloAsso association platform, with a "Soutenir" (Support) section on the website. There is no subscription pricing, no advertising disclosed, and no enterprise customers. The audience is a horizontal general-public segment interested in intergenerational storytelling, heritage preservation, and elder narratives, with editorial reach spanning France and at least 10 additional countries. No external institutional investment, venture funding, or major corporate sponsorship is disclosed in the available sources, indicating a founder-controlled, grant/donation-financed operating model.
