Kernel Investissements is the investment firm created in 2008 by Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet and Pierre Krings, two of the co-founders of PriceMinister, based in Paris. It takes minority stakes, often in co-investment, in young software and marketplace companies, and willingly follows its investments over several rounds. Its founders were among the first backers of Doctolib, joining its Series A in 2014, and Kernel supported it until 2019. The portfolio includes Doctolib, Pretto, followed in 2022 and then in 2024, Younited, Hyperlex, Wecasa, MyTraffic, Reveal, LiveMentor, Tracktor, or Sora.
