About Teach on Mars

Founded in 2013 by Vincent Desnot, Tanguy Deleplanque, and Quentin Dérunes, Teach on Mars has established itself as a key player in the mobile-first corporate training market. The company's genesis is tied to co-founder Vincent Desnot, a seasoned entrepreneur in digital training who previously founded and sold an early LMS, Epistema. His conviction in the power of mobile for learning, solidified during a year-long sailing trip with his family, became the firm's foundational principle. Based in Sophia Antipolis, France, the company provides a mobile-based learning management platform for corporations.

The business operates on a B2B SaaS model, offering a platform for organizations to create and manage professional training programs. These programs can include courses, interactive games, and quizzes, which are accessible to employees both online and offline. The platform is designed to be a next-generation learning ecosystem, integrating with enterprise software like Workday and Salesforce, and even accessible through Microsoft Teams. Teach on Mars primarily serves large, blue-chip companies, counting clients like Clarins, L'Oréal, and Saint-Gobain, and has delivered solutions in over 20 languages across more than 90 countries. Revenue is generated through licensing fees for its software, with a reported annual revenue of $15 million as of July 2025.

In a significant milestone, Teach on Mars was acquired by LumApps, a SaaS platform focused on the employee experience, in December 2023. This acquisition aims to integrate Teach on Mars's microlearning capabilities directly into LumApps' digital workplace, creating a unified platform for communication, productivity, and training. The combination is expected to enhance LumApps' offering, particularly for mobile and field-based operational teams in sectors like retail and manufacturing, while providing Teach on Mars with greater access to the US market. The company has successfully raised a total of $10.3 million in funding over two rounds prior to its acquisition.
