Kokoroe

What Kokoroe does

Kokoroe (legally I KNOW U WILL SAS) is a Paris-based B2B SaaS company that operates an LMS/LXP platform for corporate training, founded around 2018 on the premise that traditional e-learning is endured rather than embraced. The platform offers three core products: a tracking-enabled LMS/LXP with KPIs for completion, engagement, and feedback; a library of 300+ ready-made training modules (formations étagères) covering soft skills, AI, cybersecurity, leadership, inclusion, and digital transformation, delivered in microlearning (1-minute), expert (8–12 minute), and teaser formats; and an AI Authoring Tool that converts business expertise into structured training content using proven pedagogical templates. The platform supports SCORM export for clients' own LMS infrastructure and a native Microsoft Teams integration for learning in the flow of work, with content available in 10+ languages.

Kokoroe monetizes through monthly or annual SaaS subscriptions, SCORM licensing for embedded use, and bespoke/semi-custom content development priced per proposal. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct enterprise sales (with demo requests leading to tailored proposals) and self-serve subscription access, supplemented by a channel partnership with France Travail (Pôle emploi) and Microsoft France to deliver free AI training to job seekers. Distribution is reinforced by a community ecosystem comprising the #HackingHR podcast (ranked top 80 global e-learning podcasts in 2025), the HackingHR, Hacking D&I, and Women in EdTech & HRTech clubs, and the annual FOWIS (Future of Work & Inclusive Summit).

The customer base spans 100+ enterprise clients across banking, pharmaceutical, energy, insurance, retail, and public sectors, including Carrefour (321,000 employees trained on data awareness), AG2R La Mondiale, Française des Jeux, ENGIE, Sanofi, L'Oréal, Renault, Suez, and Malakoff Humanis. The company holds Qualiopi certification for French training quality, is GDPR and WCAG compliant, and is led by co-founders Raphaëlle Covilette (President), Béatrice Gherara (Chief Learning Officer), and Élise Covilette. Cumulative disclosed funding is approximately $280,000 from Kima Ventures (2015) following participation in Microsoft Accelerator Paris (2014), with no subsequent institutional rounds identified.
