CiviTime

Founded in 2017, CiviTime is a technology company operating in the Human Capital Services and HR Tech sectors, with a focus on enhancing employee engagement through gamification. The firm was established by Anthony Mollé, who was later joined by co-founders Florian Cordel, Maxence Cordel, and David Lemesle. The founders bring a diverse skill set to the venture; Florian Cordel has a background in Human Resources and co-founded Human Predictive Intelligence, a startup focused on predictive intelligence for HR. David Lemesle is a co-founder of the consulting firm WORKLAB and has a passion for collaborative tools and collective intelligence. This collective expertise in HR, technology, and collaborative work underpins CiviTime's strategic direction.

CiviTime has developed a platform of 'serious games' and gamified digital tools designed to educate and involve employees in key corporate strategic initiatives, particularly Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The company provides a library of customizable, ready-to-use digital content covering a wide range of topics such as environmental sustainability, diversity and inclusion, responsible digital practices, and health and wellness. These interactive experiences, which include formats like escape games and co-construction modules, are designed to transform learning into an engaging and motivating process. The platform aims to increase employee understanding and participation in CSR policies, turning them into active ambassadors for the company's values. CiviTime reports significantly higher engagement rates compared to traditional internal communication methods, stating that 87% of players learn something new about their company's initiatives and 92% wish to participate in future seasons.

The business serves a broad client base, from companies with 30 employees to large international corporations with over 50,000 staff members, including notable clients like L'Oréal, EDF, and Société Générale. CiviTime's revenue is generated through its suite of gamified tools, offered in over 20 languages to support both French and international clients. The company operates on a venture capital-backed model, having raised $2.19 million in funding to support its growth and the expansion of its platform. Investors include Bpifrance, BNP Paribas, Angelor, and Myrtus Venture, reflecting confidence in the company's market position and future prospects. The firm is also a Certified B Corporation, which formally recognizes its commitment to social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
