Company profile
researched Sep 2026Jimo is a digital adoption platform that lets SaaS and web application teams build, target, publish and measure in-product experiences without writing code. Its toolbox is organised into two families: sequential flows with a defined start and end (product tours, modals, surveys, banners and checklists) used for onboarding, announcements and nudges; and static self-serve surfaces that are permanently available (contextual hints, a resource center widget and a changelog feed) used for help, shortcuts and ongoing product updates.
Experiences are assembled in a drag-and-drop builder with theming, multi-language support, positioning controls and previews. An AI capability generates product tours from a recorded user flow or a selection of highlighted features, which the user can then edit, preview and launch. Targeting combines audience segmentation on user attributes and behavioural data, URL/domain and page rules, and action-based triggers; delivery can be verified through A/B tests, goals and a success tracker. Analytics cover feature usage capture, drop-off identification and reporting on published experiences.
Deployment requires a JavaScript snippet carrying a project-specific Project ID, installed directly in the site code or via Google Tag Manager; a Chrome extension allows experiences to be injected temporarily for preview before formal installation. Optional SDK steps include user identification (with identity verification and a "force identify" mode), manual initialisation to control monthly active user counting, and pushing custom attributes for segmentation. The platform integrates with analytics and go-to-market tools including Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, PostHog, Heap, HubSpot, Salesforce, Intercom, Zendesk Knowledge, Crisp, Slack, Zapier, Figma, Maze, Arcade/Storylane, Invision, calendar tools, server-side events, webhooks and an MCP endpoint.
Founding story
Jimo was founded by two co-founders, Raphael Alexandre and Andy Mpondo Black. Alexandre, a designer by background, previously worked as a senior product designer at Stuart and co-founded Recordkit before starting Jimo. [4]
Business model
B2B software sold to product organisations, with plan-and-billing and environment management handled inside the product and monthly active users used as a usage dimension; the site promotes a free trial period and a booked demo as entry points. [0][3][4]
Subscription plans managed through in-product plan and billing settings, with monthly active users tracked as a billing-relevant metric and a free trial available before purchase. [1][3]

A low-code visual builder handles design and logic, while an AI component converts recorded user flows or highlighted elements into generated tours. Public tech-stack data lists Framer for the website, React, jQuery, Sentry, PostHog, Hotjar, Google Analytics and AWS hosting with CloudFront and Route 53. [0][1][3][4]
Go-to-market
Self-service product-led entry via a free trial requiring no credit card, combined with a sales-assisted motion built around a 30-minute demo booking and an offer of three free weeks; the company also promotes customer case studies and maintains public help documentation. [0][1]

Geography
Headquartered at 11 rue de la Pléiade, Cachan, Val-de-Marne, in the Île-de-France region of France; the product and documentation are delivered in English to an international SaaS customer base, and one co-founder profile references the Techstars NYC '22 program. [4]
History
French directory records list JIMO as a société par action simplifiée registered in Cachan (Île-de-France) with a 2022 creation date and a change of officers recorded in the BODACC in October 2022. One co-founder's profile dates his involvement with Jimo from September 2021 and associates the company with Techstars NYC '22. [4]
Risks & controversies
Public directory records are inconsistent: one French listing attaches a 2008 creation date, a Vénissieux registered office, a different SIREN and unrelated officers to the Jimo name, while another lists a 2022 creation in Cachan with the two product founders. [4][5]
