Mobilizing communities at scale, making engagement simple, structured, and effective: that's the mission Qomon has set for itself. The Franco-American startup is crossing a strategic milestone to cement its role as the go-to platform for NGOs, civic movements, and political organizations.
A platform already essential in 60 countries
Founded in 2020 by Florent Barre and Jean-Baptiste Daniel, Qomon emerged from a simple observation: despite a surge in people's desire to take action, organizations driving change—NGOs, unions, political parties—still lack the tools they need for large-scale grassroots mobilization.
Qomon offers an ambitious technological solution: an intuitive CRM, field and digital mobilization tools, a mobile app for volunteers—all enhanced by data analytics and AI. A purpose-built platform designed to replace the fragmented tools that slow down action on the ground.
Already used by more than 600 organizations in 60 countries, the platform enabled the organization of over 100,000 actions in 2024, ranging from citizen door-to-door canvassing to donation campaigns. Goal for 2026: double this impact and exceed 1,000 partner organizations.
A response to a silent crisis of engagement
94 million Europeans and 78 million Americans volunteer each year. But behind this momentum, organizations are struggling to keep up. In 2024, 71% of NGOs reported an increase in demand, while 68% planned to cut services due to lack of resources. Qomon is determined to break this paradox.
Like Stripe for payments, Qomon is establishing itself as the human infrastructure for engagement: it structures, automates, and simplifies. Above all, it enables organizations to manage their actions at scale, with precision.
"Our role with Qomon is to transform the desire to act into the power to act."
— Florent Barre, CEO
A trajectory of controlled growth
With 113% YoY growth in 2024, €2.2M ARR, and a presence in 43 countries, Qomon has established itself as a decidedly international startup. 45% of its revenue already comes from abroad, with clients such as Greenpeace UK, Oxfam, and Patagonia.
Its ability to combine grassroots mobilization with centralized management, while meeting European requirements for data sovereignty and security, makes it a credible alternative to American giants like NationBuilder or Blackbaud.
"At Greenpeace UK, Qomon has become our go-to tool for field mobilization. It combines ease of use, data privacy, and effectiveness."
— Engagement Manager, Greenpeace UK
From the field to SaaS: a team built for impact
At Qomon, technology isn't an end in itself. It's a tool designed by and for those who take action.
The founding team reflects this dual culture: engagement and execution.
Florent Barre, CEO, with a background in the international nonprofit sector, now leads Qomon's product and commercial strategy with a single obsession: giving field teams simple, powerful, and accessible tools. Jean-Baptiste Daniel, CTO, with experience at high-standard product platforms, oversees development with a rigor rarely seen in CivicTech. Around them: a tight-knit, highly specialized team capable of shipping fast, iterating quickly, and managing a global product from France.
Just solid execution, a clear mission, and one driving ambition: empowering grassroots actors around the world.
A product built to create connection
At Asterion Ventures, we look to fund tools that change the rules of the game. Qomon checks all the boxes:
A clear vision: giving communities the tools to organize—and therefore to have real influence. A robust product: CRM, mobilization, AI, data analytics—all fully integrated. A resilient, demanding team that built a global solution while staying financially disciplined. A massive, underserved market: CivicTech, CharityTech, and GovTech together represent over €30 billion today, and are expected to triple by 2030.
Qomon doesn't just facilitate campaigns: it gives concrete tools to those who take action. In an era marked by distrust, political fragmentation, and major collective challenges, this ability to structure local action is an essential building block for any transformation.
It's this vision, simple yet demanding, that Qomon is building, day after day, organization by organization, field by field.
