Our Culture
Where Innovation Meets Passion — and a Bit of Plank-Testing Too
Work Hard. Play Harder. Move Smarter.
At Kinvent, we take our mission seriously — but we have just as much fun while doing it.
We’re a team of 80+ collaborators, passionate, engineers, designers, scientists, marketers, and former athletes who geek out over biomechanics, celebrate breakthroughs (with cake, obviously), and believe in collaboration over ego, always.
Based in Montpellier, our HQ comes with sunshine, startup vibes, and a 2-minute walk to the beach (okay, maybe a bit longer — but close enough for after-work apéros!).
You’ll find us:
- Testing prototypes in the lab
- Brainstorming on whiteboards (and windows)
- Cheering on each other’s wins
- And yes — squeezing in the occasional plank challenge between meetings
Our Values
At the heart of Kinvent is a commitment to innovation, accuracy, and human connection. We build tools that professionals trust—based on values of scientific integrity, collaborative design, and a deep understanding of the challenges in rehabilitation and sports performance.
We stand on five pillars:
These values are the compass for our actions, the foundation of our partnerships, and the reason professionals trust us around the globe. At Kinvent, values aren’t just words—they’re how we daily work, build, and grow.
