Olvid is a European multiplatform instant messaging software for smartphones and computers that allows text messages and files to be exchanged over the Internet, as well as audio and video calls. Founded in December 2018 under the leadership of two cryptography doctors, Thomas Baignères and Matthieu Finiasz, the Olvid company was incubated within Agoranov, an institutional incubator.

In addition, the company's founders pretend to be ready for the quantum cryptography transition.

Olvid collaborates with YesWeHack to validate its code,.
