Propelled by “Who Wants to Be My Partner?” on M6, Kivala is recording a record year in 2025 in the face of building security challenges.

Airing during prime time, the program gave Kivala national exposure and highlighted a key societal issue: building security in the face of evolving uses. The project particularly garnered the strong interest of Anthony Bourbon, who was drawn to the entrepreneur's vision and the relevance of the proposed solution.

A 100% French industrial innovation

In 2025, Kivala took a strategic step by taking the bold step of producing and manufacturing its next-generation intercom system in France: the electronic boards are produced near Le Mans, the embedded software is developed in Paris, and the final assembly is carried out in Rungis.

With this new generation of equipment, offered at a public price of €1.490 excluding VAT, Kivala affirms its positioning: a technological start-up that has also become an industrial company, controlling its entire value chain and guaranteeing reliability, security and technological sovereignty.

A rapidly accelerating national and international deployment

Initially deployed in Paris and the Île-de-France region, the Kivala solution is now present throughout France (in more than 200 different cities). Driven by growing demand from co-ownership associations and property managers, the company has also begun its international expansion through partnerships with distributors and installers in Switzerland, Belgium, and Morocco.

Uses experiencing strong growth

The adoption of the Kivala solution is accelerating significantly. Since its deployment, more than 100.000 visitors have already used a Kivala intercom, demonstrating intensive and daily use in equipped buildings. 10.000 residents now rely on the solution daily to manage access to their building.

The Kivala team currently has nine employees and plans further recruitment in 2026 to support the strong growth of the business and to respond to the influx of incoming requests.

For Jonathan Lascar, founder of Kivala: “My appearance on M6 was an incredible accelerator, but true success is measured on the ground. By 2025, Kivala had become a French industrial company, deployed throughout France and already in new countries. With my team, we proved that it was possible to combine innovation, safety, and French manufacturing. This year also allowed us to validate our business model and lay the foundations for a scale-up capable of tackling the European market. This year will be about large-scale industrialization: our goal is to equip 1.000 new buildings by 2026.”
