In May 2025, Paris-based startup COOLOC announced the successful closure of a €263,000 pre-seed funding round, surpassing its initial target of €240,000. The investment was secured through Crowdcube, attracting 158 investors, and included additional capital from the FrenchTech Seed Fund. This funding round values the company at approximately €2.5 million.
Founded in 2018 by Virginie Perret and Marie-Laure Courcelle, COOLOC offers an AI-driven coliving platform that matches tenants based on personality and lifestyle preferences. The platform manages shared living spaces across major French cities, providing a seamless rental experience for a diverse demographic, including students, young professionals, and seniors. COOLOC’s proprietary algorithms optimize tenant compatibility, while its digital platform simplifies onboarding, payments, and community engagement.
With a community of over 90,000 members and an annual recurring revenue of €420,000 as of March 2025, COOLOC plans to utilize the new funding to enhance its AI matching technology and expand its services to additional cities across France.
