What Stormz does

Stormz SASU, founded in May 2012 and headquartered in Paris, France, develops a SaaS workshop facilitation platform that enables groups to brainstorm, decide, and collaborate in real-time or asynchronously through web browsers on laptops, tablets, phones, and shared screens. The product is structured around three core modules: Workshop V2 (the primary collaborative canvas for idea generation, development, and group decision-making), Quiz & Survey (live polling, ice-breakers, and quizzes), and AI Boosters (a generative AI layer that augments brainstorming and multicriteria decisions). Underlying architecture is a web-native, multi-device platform that emphasizes accessibility for participants with no learning curve, supporting in-person, hybrid, and remote sessions.

Stormz serves professional facilitators and process consultants (primary), agile teams and Scrum Masters, business and strategy professionals, and educators/trainers. Named enterprise customers include Cap Gemini, FCB Health (multiple testimonials over multi-year relationships), Total, Orange, Pfizer, and Great Place to Work, alongside mid-market and independent users (e.g., Black Bamboo, Genius Loci, Proyectum Global, Orgshift Solutions). The company runs a product-led, self-serve GTM: 10-day free trial without credit card, direct website signup, with marketing primarily driven by community and content channels (Facilitators Facebook group, blog, Learning Center, Facilitation Toolbox, 50+ template library). Monetization is via SaaS subscriptions with monthly billing cadence; specific tier pricing is not publicly disclosed. Stormz is self-funded and profitable, originated via NUMA in 2012, and references an adjacent product (Sparkitup.ai) targeting freelance facilitators and solopreneurs.
