What WAP does

WAP (We Are Peers) is a Paris-based, private enterprise learning company founded in 2017 that sells a peer-to-peer learning platform and methodology to large organizations. The company packages a scientifically-researched, 5-step methodology inside an internally developed digital platform, enabling clients to run facilitated peer sessions, sustain internal learning communities, and run participatory events (seminars, hackathons, learning weeks) at scale. Since inception WAP reports having trained 19,529 participants across 1,162 workshops, with named enterprise clients spanning defense (Thales), banking (Société Générale), energy (TotalEnergies), insurance (Matmut), automotive (Renault), and consulting and technology services (Capgemini, Sopra Steria). Documented outcomes include Thales saving 22,560 hours of 1:1 knowledge-transfer interviews, Société Générale moving a commercial unit from 58th to 1st in regional rankings, and TotalEnergies extending a learning-manager community's lifespan from 3 months to 3 years.

The product surface is a three-tier offering stack: (1) Communautés internes (PASS) — an annual or multi-year subscription granting unlimited session creation, access to 5 templates, pedagogical and technical support, and 3 days per month of follow-up committee engagement; (2) Formations entre pairs de 15h — multi-day peer training programs with co-practice workshops, facilitator kits, and guidebooks; and (3) Evènements participatifs — custom-designed seminars and hackathons including facilitator training, implementation, and content/results export. Delivered underneath these tiers is the proprietary WAP Platform, an internally developed digital tool that operationalizes the 5-step methodology and supports everything from small-group workshops to organization-wide learning events.

WAP monetizes through a mix of recurring subscription revenue (PASS) and project-based professional services (training sessions and custom events). Distribution is entirely direct — no third-party resellers or partners are disclosed — and the go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, community-led engagement, and event-driven activation across marketing channels (website, YouTube, case studies, and direct email). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts require direct contact for quotes. Reporting geography is France-only with no global footprint claim, and a Holoniq Top EdTech200 (2022) recognition is the principal third-party credibility signal. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or partnership announcements are disclosed in the available data.

• Docebo: Docebo is an AI-powered enterprise LMS/LXP with social and collaborative learning capabilities, serving the same corporate training market as WAP with a more software-led, globally scaled model.
• 360Learning: 360Learning is a collaborative learning platform purpose-built for enterprises, with peer-reviewed course creation and trainer-led cohort learning — directly overlapping WAP's collaborative/peer learning orientation and enterprise L&D customer base.
