Revyze, a Paris-based social learning app designed for GenZ and GenAlpha, has raised $6 million in a seed round led by Speedinvest (which recently backed ContextSDK and Haaven) and Moonfire (which backed Healthtech 1 and Stanhope AI), with participation from Motier Ventures, Station F, the world’s largest startup incubator, Illka Paananen (Cofounder of Supercell), Riccardo Zacconni & Sebastian Knusson (Cofounders of King / Candycrush) and Nickey Skarstad (Director of Product, Duolingo).
Revyze was founded in 2022 by Guillaume Perrot, Anatole Blanc, and Florent Sciberras to democratize access to high-quality education on a global scale. The company’s mobile app helps students learn by scrolling through verified short form Tiktok-like videos & quizzes made by their peers, including high schoolers, university students, and even teachers. It offers a mobile app where students learn through short videos and quizzes created by their peers, with all content verified before posting. The company aims to reshape the learning experience, making it accessible, personalized, and social.
Guillaume Perrot, CofounderCofounder of Revyze, shared about the platform:
You can think of Revyze as Duolingo meets TikTok—Duolingo for the gamified learning structure & Tiktok for the short-form video format & social interaction. We’re moving from a world where you learn passively in school with teachers to a world of active lifelong learning with your peers. We think humans learn better from other humans because they can relate. That is why we don’t think siloed AI tutoring is the way. Instead, we believe creators should be in the driver’s seat, supported by AI, which Revyze uses to help them create more high-quality, engaging, personalized content.
Since its inception, Revyze has reached over 1 million users. Over one-third of all 9th graders in France have already used the platform to prepare for their middle school certificate, pushing the app to #1 in the App Store last June. Over 2000 creators have also contributed over 20,000 videos, resulting in over 150 million views, an equivalent of 100 years of smart scrolling on Revyze instead of doom scrolling on TikTok.
Adding further about the development, the Co-founder of Revyze said:
We’re building a small, diverse team of global talent with very high agency, so we are looking for one world-class designer and two software engineers passionate about our mission to join us.
With this funding, Revyze intends to gamify the learning experience by introducing new features such as daily tasks, currency, badges, and status learning from Duolingo and mobile games. It plans to create a more social platform where students can add their classmates to the app, communicate with them over educational content, and tailor recommendations.
Jeroen Arts, Partner at Speedinvest, also commented:
By combining social engagement with verified, peer-generated content, Revyze is not just filling a gap—it’s redefining the entire learning experience. We’re thrilled to support a team passionate about democratizing education and empowering students to learn in ways that resonate with them.
Beyond France, Revyze aims to expand to the United States in 2025, where it already has a small pilot and an early community of creators.
