Founded in Paris by Mathieu Perez, Thomas Perez and Nicolas Sebag, COACH is part of Y Combinator's Summer 2026 batch and reached roughly $500k ARR in its first five months.

He raised a $4.5M Series A from Ballast Point Ventures in 2020 and now hosts the 'From the Field' podcast, interviewing sales leaders about how modern teams sell, scale, and win.
