History

• 1️⃣ Building a new kind of health insurance (2016-2018)
• 2️⃣ Expanding health insurance for companies, launching international & new health services (2019-2020)
• 3️⃣ Accelerating the transition to the one-stop health partner for the body and mind (2021-2022)

In 2016 Alan becomes the first health insurance in France with a license — since 1986! Created by Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve and Charles Gorintin, Alan brings simplicity and transparency in a very complex industry: healthcare. At this stage, the focus is on start-ups and TNS (Travailleurs Non-Salariés). The website is created and the entire team handles customer service.

💪 Achievements

• We partner with LIVI, to offer teleconsultation to our members.

• At the end of 2018, we insure close to 25K members and 2K companies.

• We close our Series A (23M€ - 2018)

👥 Team

The team grows from 0 to 36 Alaners.

This step sees the beginning of our expansion and the launch of our scale economy strategy. By developing our own software infrastructure, we are able to get rid of third-party providers, and make a number of heavy processes much more delightful for our members.

💪 Achievements

• We open Alan in Spain and Belgium.

• We launch new products, such as offers for individuals and Alan Blue for companies, and several new services, such as Alan map.

• We keep pushing for a reform that is finally adopted in 2019 and is a game changer: the Senate allows the cancellation of health insurance contracts at any time and at no cost (read more about it here 🇫🇷). 

• Starting 2019, Alan is part of the first “Next 40” selection (and is selected every year since then). 

• We end 2020 with 138K members.

• We close our Series B (40M€ - 2019) and our Series C (50M€ - 2020). 

👥 Team

The team grows from 36 to 174 Alaners.
