BeNarative

What BeNarative does

BeNarative (also operating as "Narative") is a Paris-based, privately held cloud video production platform founded in 2020, serving journalists, podcasters, media companies, sports organizations, marketing teams, and nonprofits that need to produce and broadcast professional video content without specialized hardware, editing skills, or external production agencies. The platform is delivered as a 100% cloud service accessible from any device via a web application (app.narative.io), a native iOS app, and a native Android app, and bundles a core production environment with several proprietary modules: the AI-powered "Be My Guest" remote interview tool (which operates without requiring guests to install an app), the exclusive "Dual Cam" feature for simultaneous front/rear camera filming, a multi-platform live streaming engine ("multi-diffusion") that broadcasts simultaneously to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, TikTok, and any custom RTMP endpoint, a community video aggregation tool ("Collect"), a "Mobile Control Room" for remote production direction, and a raw-video recovery feature ("Divergées") that preserves all unprocessed source footage for later re-editing. The technical architecture is positioned as entirely cloud-rendered with guaranteed uninterrupted live broadcasts and integration with third-party cameras, microphones, sound cards, and drones.

The company monetizes through subscription-based access to the platform, with pricing offered on a quote-based, demo-gated model rather than published tiers, and a free trial available on the web application. Distribution is hybrid: product-led self-serve via the web app and the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, paired with an enterprise sales motion ("Réservez une démo") for larger accounts. Customer logos span French national broadcasters (TF1, BFM TV), multiple professional sports clubs and federations (Olympique de Marseille, AS Monaco, OGCN, FFSA, Equidia, CrossFit Games), consumer media and brands (Paris United, Paris.com, Cheerz, Hunter Valley, Mr Bboy), and nonprofits and startups (APF France Handicap, Startup Palace, WAGMI). With a reported headcount of 1–10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and a single named executive (co-founder and CEO Jean-Marc Denoual), BeNarative appears to be a lean, bootstrapped, early-stage operation whose enterprise traction has been built largely through direct sales and product credibility.
