From the Sorbonne to the gym. At just 27 years old, Clara Pichon embodies this generation of bold entrepreneurs who turn their passions into tangible projects. With a degree in finance from the Sorbonne, she leaves the numbers behind to follow her instincts. After her first success in chocolate—with her famous pink praline bars—it's now sports that is launching her into the spotlight.
A success story born on social media
With over 282,000 followers on Instagram, Clara has been sharing her sports adventures for several years, including her impressive preparations for an Ironman. This inspiring journey has generated massive excitement: her followers track every step of her evolution, proving that motivation can be contagious. In fact, it's this buzz that gives her the idea to create a tool to connect athletes and coaches.

Koacher, the Doctolib of sports made in Lyon
It all kicks off with Hugo Monnet, an entrepreneur from Lyon, who speeds things up. Together, they launch Koacher, a platform that connects sports professionals (coaches, trainers, yoga or golf instructors) with athletes looking for personalized support. The app, available since September 22, already brings together 2,500 coaches spread across Lyon, Paris, and the south of France.

A clear ambition: to make sports coaching accessible to everyone
In addition to being a true directory of sports coaches, Koacher is also a community where everyone can find the support that suits them, whether it’s yoga, tennis, or triathlon. For Clara Pichon, the goal is clear: to help those who hesitate to take the plunge. With over 35 disciplines offered, the app aims to become the go-to reference for sports coaching in France.
