⚡️Who we are

We help consumers shop smarter. Our ambition is to revolutionize the way people shop, empowering them to find what they need, make informed purchasing decisions, and save money.

Joko is a tech company founded in Paris. Our team of over 80 talents is international and spread across offices in Paris, Barcelona and New York, or working remotely.

As a certified B Corporation, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of the communities we serve, including the 4 million consumers already using Joko to save money every day at over 7,000 merchants.

Over the years, we have quickly expanded our value proposition to enable consumers to make smarter shopping decisions through many features: cash back, buy now and pay later, automatic coupons, price drop alerts, carbon footprint tracking, and more. Today, we are dedicating significant resources to developing an AI-powered assistant that helps users find the right product based on their criteria for price, quality, or environmental impact from the global e-commerce catalog.

After reaching profitability in our core market, we are now expanding internationally with a primary focus on the US.

It’s still day 1; come build the future of shopping with us!
