Alan

Alan is a Paris-based digital health insurance company that positions itself as an integrated health partner, bundling health insurance (complémentaire santé), provident coverage (prévoyance), preventive programmes and care access into a single mobile and web experience. Members can check coverage, submit claims by photographing an invoice, consult clinicians by chat or video through the Alan Clinic, order eyewear and contact lenses through an integrated optical offering, and follow personalised journeys for mental health, back pain, sleep and nutrition. Employers use a dedicated interface to manage employee movements, exemptions and sick leave.

The company serves companies of all sizes and sectors — segmented on its site into startups and micro-businesses (fewer than six employees), SMEs (6–100 employees) and large accounts of several hundred to several thousand employees — as well as consumers such as retirees (Alan Dolce Vita), self-employed workers (TNS) and, per its website, public-sector agents through labelled offers. It also lists governments (ministries, local authorities) among its customers. Alan describes itself as the first new health insurance player licensed in France since 1986.

Alan states it operates in France, Belgium, Spain and Canada, covering more than one million members and, per its press room, 37,000 companies (the French homepage cites more than 1,100,000 members and 41,000 companies). It reports 790+ employees and annual recurring revenue of €804m+ as of Q1 2026, and says it has processed 73M+ reimbursements and 5.9M+ medical consultations since 2016.

Founding story

According to Alan's careers page, Jean-Charles Samuelian and Charles Gorintin founded the company in 2016 after identifying that healthcare was expensive, poorly adapted to individual needs, reactive rather than preventive, complex to navigate and a source of physician burnout. Alan started as a fully digital health insurer and subsequently broadened into care and prevention services.

Business model

Alan sells health insurance and provident coverage as an insurer, primarily to employers who provide it as an employee benefit, and directly to individuals such as retirees and the self-employed. Rather than acting solely as a claims payer, it integrates care delivery (virtual clinic, prevention programmes, optics) with coverage, on the thesis that proactive health management reduces claims costs and improves member outcomes.

Recurring insurance premiums from corporate and individual policyholders; Alan reports annual recurring revenue of €785m for 2025 and €804m+ as of Q1 2026, and says it reached operational profitability in France, its largest market.
