What Alyra does

Alyra (legal entity SAS ALYRA, SIREN 828 152 454) is a Paris-headquartered online professional training school founded in 2018/2019 that delivers France Compétences-registered certification programs in blockchain and artificial intelligence to individual professionals and corporate clients. Its product portfolio spans six core tracks — three in blockchain (Consulting Blockchain, Développement Blockchain, Finance Décentralisée) leading to RNCP39717 bloc certifications, two in AI (Consulting Intelligence Artificielle, Développement Intelligence Artificielle) leading to RNCP38616 bloc certifications, and a Gérer un projet Agile track (RS5487) — each delivered in three format tiers (Essentiel, Session, Premium) ranging from 44 to 144 hours and priced between €2,996 and €5,250 from 2027. Delivery is 100% online via a Webflow-hosted platform on AWS, Zoom live cohorts, unlimited replays, and a private Discord server hosting 2,500+ alumni alongside 200+ employer-partner companies including BNP Paribas, Société Générale, HSBC France, KPMG, Consensys, Ledger, Thales, TotalEnergies, and Capgemini.

The curriculum is built and refreshed by a network of ~100 active ecosystem practitioners, with named authors including Pascal Tallarida (Jarvis Network) for DeFi and Mickaël Faust (formerly EDF) and Jérémie Karsenty for AI development. Pedagogical infrastructure blends live interactive sessions (75% of contact time), project-based learning with jury-reviewed prototypes, and a freemium layer of free introductory courses (Formation Gratuite Crypto and IA, 4 hours each) that serves as lead-generation for the paid funnel. Reported learning outcomes include a 91% certification rate since 2019, 87% re-employment within six months for AI consulting alumni, and 54% of re-employed alumni earning above €50,000/year.

Commercially, Alyra operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B model. Individual learners self-serve through the website, complete Typeform needs assessments and knowledge quizzes, and enroll directly; pricing is paid one-time per track with multi-enrollment bundle discounts (10%) and optional installment financing via Alma. Enterprise packages are sold directly to HR/L&D departments for both AI and blockchain team upskilling. Distribution is heavily channeled through France's public training infrastructure — CPF/MonCompteFormation, OPCOs (Atlas, SYNTEC, CINOV), and France Travail — supplemented by crypto payment acceptance via CoinGecko spot rates. Management is led by CEO Hélène Bunel and President Matthieu Beaurain, with a stated headcount of 1-10 (firmographic) against approximately 20 named staff on the public team page, and only one disclosed external capital event — a $200,000 round led by SkyDeck Berkeley in September 2022.

Direct peers

• Moralis Academy: Originally launched as 'Ivan on Tech,' Moralis Academy is a global blockchain and Web3 education platform offering certification-style courses in Solidity, DeFi, and crypto. It is a direct competitor to Alyra's blockchain tracks, operating online with a similar practitioner-led pedagogy.
• 101 Blockchains: Online training and certification provider focused exclusively on blockchain, smart contracts, DeFi, and Web3 for professionals. Highly comparable to Alyra's blockchain/DeFi curriculum in target audience (career advancers) and certification-style delivery model.
