What Studymapper does

Studymapper SAS is a French EdTech company founded in 2019 by Oumar Ndiaye (CEO) and Adrian Janvier (COO/CXO), with Fouad Chennouf serving as CTO/Associate. Headquartered in Alfortville, France, the company operates a web-based orientation and school-matching platform at studymapper.fr that aggregates over 1,000 partner schools and 55,000+ training programs spanning CAP to BAC+5. Students can search by region, field, and education level, download application dossiers, and apply to schools through a one-click application system with real-time tracking. A free Student Success Manager provides guidance, and the company also operates a sister platform, Studyandwork, focused on alternance and work-study program matching.

The product surface comprises five components: the main studymapper.fr discovery platform, a personal Espace Candidat student portal, a pro.studymapper.fr admin portal for partner schools, a Virtual Orientation Salon (salon.studymapper.fr) with live sessions every 10 minutes, and an editorial blog with downloadable guides. The company reports aiding approximately 300,000 students per year, with 108,000 registered on the platform and 30,000+ international students supported. It employs 14 people and is structured as a SAS with a registered capital of 25,000 EUR.

Studymapper's revenue model combines three streams: a freemium student funnel, a 500 EUR premium mentorship package (30-minute orientation, personalized school selection, real-time application tracking, one year of chat support), and recurring subscription fees paid by partner schools for lead generation and visibility. The company has raised one funding round from strategic investor IMT Starter in January 2021, remains founder-controlled, and has no disclosed institutional investors, M&A activity, or public market listing.

Direct peers

• StudyPortals: International study-choice platform connecting prospective students with global programs, with strong coverage of European and English-taught programs. Comparable to Studymapper's international student flow and school-recruitment model, though operating across many more countries.
• Kelformation: French professional training and formation search engine focused on CPF-eligible continuing education and vocational programs. Comparable to Studymapper's training-program catalog and lead-generation business, with overlap on the adult/continuing-education side of orientation.
• Diplomeo: French school-search and orientation platform aggregating formations and écoles across France. Competes head-to-head with Studymapper for student traffic and school partnership fees, with a similar freemium/lead-generation model.
• L'Étudiant: The dominant French student-information and school-guidance publisher, offering formation search, orientation content, and school lead-generation services. Directly comparable to Studymapper in the French B2C2B orientation market, but with a much larger brand, audience, and content footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Coursera: Global online learning and credentialing platform that includes degree and certificate discovery alongside course delivery. Overlaps with Studymapper at the program-discovery layer, but Coursera operates a much broader content/transactional stack and is not a French school-orientation specialist.
• ONISEP: France's public information service on education, training, and careers, providing formation search, fiches métiers, and orientation tools free of charge. A public-sector incumbent that competes for the same student queries but does not monetize school-side lead generation.

Emerging players

• Educations.com: International education search and lead-generation platform connecting students to universities and language programs worldwide. Overlaps with Studymapper's international student use case and school-referral revenue model, but with a broader geographic scope.
