BLIFY in the SAATKORN HR Startup series
BLIFY in the SAATKORN HR Startup series
In the SAATKORN HR Startup Series, I regularly present exciting young companies that are bringing a breath of fresh air to the HR world. Today, the focus is no longer just on Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, but also on HR startups from France, the UK, and the US. Today’s featured company: Blify from France!
I had the opportunity to speak to Clement Lhommeau, Co-Founder at Blify (and sitting on the left side of the picture) – an AI-native learning platform. – Let’s get started:
SAATKORN: Please introduce yourself to the SAATKORN readers!
Blify is a French AI-native learning platform that turns Microsoft Teams, Slack, or WhatsApp into vibrant learning spaces. It was founded by Clément Lhommeau, former CMO of 360Learning and Santé Académie, together with Tristan Vié, JobTeaser’s ex-CSO and Minh Tu Hua, one of Alan’s founding engineers. Our team combines deep expertise in learning science, HR tech, and large-scale AI systems.
SAATKORN: What’s the founding story behind your HR startup?
We saw that corporate training still happens outside the flow of work, too far from where learning actually happens. While working with top L&D teams, we realized AI could bridge that gap. So we built Blify to bring learning into daily tools and moments, enabling managers and teams to practice, reflect, and grow directly where they collaborate.
SAATKORN: What’s your mission – which problem are you aiming to solve?
Blify’s mission is to embed learning into everyday work so that development becomes continuous, contextual, and personal. Today, 90% of training impact is lost after a few weeks. We solve that by using AI to detect learning moments, deliver micro-content, and create adaptive role-plays that help managers truly anchor new behaviors over time.
SAATKORN: What is your HR startup’s business model?
Blify operates as a B2B SaaS platform. Companies subscribe on a per-user, per-year basis, with tailored plans for SMB, mid-market, and enterprise clients. Our model scales with engagement: the more users learn, the more value organizations generate.
SAATKORN: How would you describe your ideal customer profile?
Our ideal customer is an HR or L&D leader in a company with 300–5,000 employees who wants to modernize leadership development. They value practice-based learning, data-driven insights, and a seamless experience within Teams or Slack. They’re often replacing outdated LMS or workshop-only formats with AI-powered learning that fits the rhythm of work.
SAATKORN: In which countries do you offer your products or services?
Blify is currently available across Europe, with clients in France, Belgium, and Spain, and early adopters in North America. Our platform is fully available in English and French, and we’re actively expanding to additional languages (including Spanish, German, Italian, and Chinese) to support truly global organizations. Thanks to our integrations with Microsoft Teams and Slack, deployment is seamless across regions.
SAATKORN: What is your vision – where do you want to be three years from now?
In 3 years, Blify aims to become the leading AI Learning Operating System for the workplace. We envision millions of employees receiving contextual learning support every day, seamlessly embedded in their flow of work. Beyond management training, Blify will power sales enablement, onboarding, and compliance learning. All personalized, measurable, and adaptive!
SAATKORN: If you had three wishes, what would they be?
First, that corporate learning finally becomes as natural as messaging a colleague.
Second, that AI is used responsibly to amplify (not replace) human growth.
Third, that European HR tech startups like Blify gain global visibility and help redefine the future of workplace learning through ethical, learner-centric innovation.
