Mallow

At Mallow, we believe everyone deserves the chance to grow and thrive - whatever their age or background. Because joy is the most powerful engine for learning, we build joyful experiences, grounded in cognitive science and powered by technology, so that everyone can learn and flourish.

Our first product, designed for children aged 4 to 10, is a game that stimulates learning while supporting cognitive and emotional development. To bring this vision to life, we've brought together a unique team with complementary areas of expertise (AI, hardware, software, children's authors, video games, cognitive science).

Mallow was founded in September 2024 by Cédric O (co-founder of Mistral AI, former French Secretary of State for Digital Affairs) and Flore Cousin (ex-BCG, former C-level at Alma). We launch to tens of thousands of families this autumn.
