本月我们兴奋地宣布我们最新的早期投资:Simundia。这10美元将使这家总部位于巴黎的公司在规模进一步民主化的教练,并继续投资到人工智能提供定制的培训,首先关注软技能。我们一直在积极的投资者在人力资源技术在过去的几年里(杰出人才人,Zenjob Jobble, Hackajob),一直在寻求投资在培训领域持续很长一段时间。然而,现有的培训解决方案常常面临挑战来区分(如内容)以及培养采用(我是唯一一个不是一个足够好的利用LinkedIn学习? !)。这一切,加上前所未有的变化在全球工作环境/管理方法(得益于Covid-19大流行和远程工作),帮助我们构建我们的信念需要容易,负担得起的和个性化的培训规模。什么比教练回答这样的挑战?这是Simundia发挥作用的地方。1)民主化指导正确的产品的规模通常被视为“精英”——只保留高管——或与消极的内涵——“你真的需要教练在这!”,软技能培训有很大的中层管理人员。然而其部署在企业(包括企业较小的结构)也受阻于缺乏可伸缩解决方案和成本约束。Simundia 100%的数码产品和独特的方法使员工大规模部署指导活动在30多个国家,由于一个200 +的网络认证的教练。 By automating the definition of coaching needs and providing asynchronous communication as well as a library of curated content, Simundia’s platform goes far beyond digitalizing traditional coaching sessions. Continued investment in Tech and artificial intelligence will further increase the value-add for coaches, coachees and companies alike. 2) Tremendous market for coaching Training budgets are huge, yet most of existing solutions are highly inefficient. On the other hand, when looking at the coaching industry, there is a massive unbalance between supply (20k+ certified coaches in Europe alone) and demand from companies. As a marketplace and provider of coaching solutions, Simundia appeals to the coach community through a unique value-add centered around training, peer learning, access to a diversified client base and full-flexibility. With more and more attention paid to the work-life balance and quality-of-work (French QVT ‘Qualité de Vie au Travail’), Simundia is also able to offer thematic coaching adapted to the latest trends. 3) Solid team and execution Simundia co-founders really stroke us as very complementary: CEO Grégoire rigour and analytical mindset is well-complemented by COO Colombe down-to-earth and compassionate approach. Having evolved in both start-ups (Rocket Internet) and consulting firms (BCG, Roland Berger), the founding duo combines unique business skills with deep training / psychology know-how. They also managed to onboard early-on prestigious subject-matter experts as advisors, both on the coaching and e-learning / training side. Very ambitious, the co-founders have also proven their ability to grow quickly by remaining cash-efficient. With this new round, Simundia has all the assets to build on its leader position in France and further expand in Europe. We are pleased to welcome Simundia to the AVP family, as well as to share the journey with Educapital and historical investors! Start your coaching journey now at www.simundia.com.
