  • Didask

    Participated · Equity · May 2025

    Didask builds an AI- and cognitive science-driven learning platform and LMS for corporate training, including an AI-guided authoring tool that creates personalized, evidence-based learning paths. The platform recommends content formats such as simulations, flashcards, and micro-challenges tailored to individual learners. Didask launched Didia, an intelligent teaching assistant, in 2022 and plans to expand that capability into a new Knowledge Assistant for informal, in‑flow workplace learning. The Knowledge Assistant will be integrated directly into workplace tools to support day-to-day upskilling. The company intends to use its recent funding to enhance its LMS, accelerate international expansion across Europe, and develop the new informal-learning tool. No operating metrics (revenue/users) are disclosed in the article.

Using the new funding, We Link plans to expand further in Europe and enter Brazil, Mexico and Canada, launch two additional verticals, add new features and accelerate hiring.

  • DouzePointCinq

    Participated · Seed · Oct 2023

    DouzePointCinq converts unused car parking areas into secured parking and micro‑hubs for private cyclists and delivery fleets, installing lockers, surveillance, and facilities for riders. The company serves both individuals and logistics firms, with revenue currently split roughly equally between those uses. It has been entrusted with over a thousand parking sites and recently added about 400 more. Management plans to double headcount within a year and to double the number of parkings by 2025, while pushing a shift toward business customers. The firm is expanding beyond the Paris area into Lyon and Bordeaux and aims to open in Lille, Nantes and Marseille in the coming year. After a planned Series A, the company and its backers expect to target southern Europe for further growth. La Poste and its subsidiaries are already clients and strategic supporters of the model.
