SUMMARY

  • Paris-based startup Blify, which transforms workplace communication tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams into learning platforms, has raised $2.1 million in a pre-seed funding round to accelerate development of its AI-native Learning Operating System.

The round was led by AFI Ventures (Ventech’s impact fund) and included Kima Ventures, Better Angle, Fair Equity, and over 50 business angels, including founders and executives from Maki People, Alan, Doctolib, JobTeaser, and ABB.

Companies spend heavily on employee training each year, but traditional LMS and LXP platforms often fail to maintain engagement. Many employees forget what they learn shortly after completing training, and monthly participation rates remain low.

Blify solves this by embedding learning directly into the tools employees already use, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, and WhatsApp.

Its multi-agent AI system analyzes contextual information about employees and their roles to deliver the right knowledge at the right time boosting participation and improving knowledge retention compared with traditional learning platforms.

Blify was founded by HR tech operators Clément Lhommeau, Tristan Vié, and Minh-Tu Hua, whose combined experience in European SaaS shaped the company’s approach to workplace-integrated learning.

As trainers, we've seen it firsthand: people learn and improve, then forget everything within weeks. LMS and LXP platforms barely reach 10% monthly engagement. The reason is simple - people don’t want to log into yet another platform to sit through a generic course disconnected from their daily work, said Tristan Vié, co-CEO and co-founder of Blify.

Clément Lhommeau, co-CEO and co-founder of Blify, added that the main challenge lies not in the content but in the model behind it: In a world where skills become obsolete quickly and hiring is increasingly difficult, continuous learning is no longer optional - it is essential.

The new funding will be used to accelerate product development and expand the engineering team. After spending 2025 developing and testing its first use case focused on manager training, the company plans to launch a broader platform in 2026 for creating, distributing, and managing company-wide training supported by AI.
