Ten Ten

Ten Ten is a French consumer social app that transforms smartphones into live walkie-talkies, enabling real-time voice communication between close friends — even when the recipient's phone screen is locked. Founded in 2021 by CEO Jule Comar and CTO Antoine Baché, Ten Ten is designed around ephemeral, spontaneous voice sharing: users hold a button to speak and friends hear them instantly on their device, bypassing the friction of traditional calls or voice messages. The app targets teens and young adults seeking a more intimate, ambient way to stay connected, inspired by the feel of being roommates or next-door neighbors. Ten Ten went viral in France in mid-2024, reaching 6 million downloads globally within its first year on iOS and Android, including the top free app ranking in France's App Store. The company is registered in France and subject to GDPR; conversations are ephemeral and not stored. Headquartered in Paris, Ten Ten has a team of 2-10 employees and has raised venture capital, though specific amounts and investors have not been publicly disclosed.
