Revyze, a French education technology startup, has secured €5.5 million ($6 million) in seed funding led by Speedinvest and Moonfire. 

According to TechCrunch, the company’s learning app for middle and high school students has attracted 1 million users over the past two years.

Revyze’s app, which combines elements of TikTok and Duolingo, reached the top spot for free downloads in Apple’s App Store in June. The platform hosts 40,000 educational videos and quizzes created by approximately 2,000 content creators, garnering 150 million views.

The company reports that one-third of all ninth-grade students in France used the app for last-minute preparation before the national middle school exam.

To address engagement challenges outside of exam periods, Revyze introduced a new feature called “capsules.” These curated collections of videos, quizzes, and summary sheets focus on specific topics and incorporate gamification elements to encourage regular use.

The startup also implemented a monetization program for its top 5% of creators in each subject area. Users can unlock content using coins earned through daily app engagement and quiz completion.

While currently free, Revyze plans to introduce paid features in the future, including personalized analytics and social features. The company prioritizes product-market fit and community growth for users and content creators.

Revyze’s creator community includes high-performing teenagers and experienced teachers, reflecting diverse educational perspectives.

“You’ve got the tenth-grader rubbing shoulders with the 45-year-old history teacher from Agen, and they’re all here with one goal in mind: helping students learn differently,” Revyze co-founder Florent Sciberras told TechCrunch.

The funding round includes participation from Motier Ventures, Station F, and notable gaming industry figures such as Supercell co-founder Ilkka Paananen and King co-founders Riccardo Zacconi and Sebastian Knutsson. Duolingo’s Nickey Skarstad also contributed to the investment.

This funding follows a €2 million ($2.2 million) pre-seed round raised in 2022. The company, currently headquartered at Station F in Paris, continues to refine its product offering as it explores expansion opportunities in the U.S. market.
