“Can employee-matching rituals become the connective tissue of the modern enterprise HR stack?”
Founded in Paris circa 2017 as an employee-connection tool (informal 'random coffee' pairings between coworkers), RandomCoffee has grown into an enterprise HR platform for culture, onboarding, DEI and mentoring at ~1,250 organizations. It has expanded from simple Slack/Teams matching into structured mentoring programs, HRIS-integrated program management, and enterprise-grade security (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
RandomCoffee processes payments through Stripe.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in RandomCoffee's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe); Unified APIs (Apideck).
RandomCoffee was founded by Ouadia Lasfar and is founded in 2017, headquartered in Vincennes, France.
