Alan announces a €480 million financing round to make prevention insurance the new global standard in healthcare

Published

on

Backed by Prosus, Alan enters a new phase of growth to transform healthcare through prevention, technology and AI

PARIS, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Alan, the company building the new standard in prevention insurance, today announced an agreement for a Series G financing round of €480 million ($550 million), valuing the company at €5.5 billion ($6.3 billion). The round is led by Prosus, one of the world’s largest technology operators and investors based in the Netherlands, alongside existing shareholders Teachers’ Venture Growth (TVG) and Index Ventures as well as new investors Dara Holdings. The closing of this financing round is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including from the relevant French financial authorities.

This financing marks a major milestone in Alan’s journey and reflects a growing conviction that healthcare must evolve from a system focused on treating illness to one built around prevention, continuous care, and long-term health outcomes. There is today a unique opportunity to accelerate this with AI.

Over the past decade, Alan has evolved beyond its origins as a health insurer to pioneer a new category: prevention insurance. Healthcare today is built on waiting – for a six-month appointment, for symptoms to get worse, for insurance that only steps in once you are already sick. Alan is built to do the opposite: to act before health problems become bigger problems. It is the first company to bring insurance, prevention and care together in a single integrated experience – combining health coverage, care navigation, wellbeing services and AI-powered health assistance so members can act early, stay on top of their health and feel more in control every day.

With this new financing, Alan enters a new phase of growth with the ambition to make prevention insurance the preferred model for healthcare. The company plans to accelerate the expansion of its model in several new countries across the world, deepen its presence in existing markets including France, Belgium, Spain and Canada, pursue acquisitions, and continue investing heavily in artificial intelligence, healthcare services and product innovation.

The company enters this new chapter from a position of considerable strength. In Q1 2026, the company reached more than €800 million in Annual Recurring Revenue, grew 53% year-over-year, surpassed 1.1 million members and is profitable in France.

Alan believes AI will fundamentally transform healthcare by making personalized prevention, navigation and support available to everyone. Combined with Alan’s integrated healthcare platform, these technologies have the potential to improve outcomes for millions of people while reducing the long-term cost of care.

Prosus brings to this next phase a unique track record of supporting category-defining technology companies around the world. With deep expertise in scaling consumer platforms and a global network built over decades of investment, Prosus will support Alan’s ambition to redefine healthcare for the digital age.

Commenting on this announcement,  Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve, Co-founder and CEO of Alan, said: “Health can’t wait, not for symptoms to get worse, not for a six-month appointment, not for the system to catch up. Yet that is exactly how healthcare works today. We believe great health is a universal right, and that prevention should be too. For ten years we have shown that technology can turn healthcare from reactive to proactive, helping people act early instead of reacting late. That is what prevention insurance is, and it’s the category we are building. We selected Prosus for their very deep expertise in international expansion and consumer products and to benefit from the incredible ecosystem they are building. We are still at the very beginning of what Alan can become.”

“Healthcare presents one of the most significant global opportunities for AI-led transformation,” said Fahd Beg, Head of Investments at Prosus Group. “Alan has built something unique: an integrated platform where insurance, prevention and care delivery reinforce each other, creating an exceptional healthcare experience for consumers and outstanding platform engagement. We’re excited to partner with Alan to accelerate its international expansion and unlock value through our ecosystem.”

About Alan

Alan is building the new standard in prevention insurance — the first company to bring insurance, prevention and care together in a single experience, serving more than 1.1 million members. Rather than only covering people when something goes wrong, Alan helps them stay one step ahead: acting before health problems become bigger problems and staying in control of their health every day. Alan is an independent company regulated by the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR). Members benefit from an integrated solution designed to support both their physical and mental wellbeing while simplifying their healthcare experience through seven-day-a-week customer support, access to doctors directly through the platform, and reimbursement services known for their reliability and speed. The company operates in four countries – France, Spain, Belgium and Canada – and serves more than 37,000 businesses as well as self-employed professionals and retirees. With a team of more than 850 people, Alan is dedicated to delivering an outstanding member experience, reflected in consistently high satisfaction ratings (above 4.2/5). Alan generates more than €800 million in Annual Recurring Revenue and is valued at €5.5 billion in 2026.

Corgi Insurance appoints Joe Els as Head of Portfolio Risk

Published

By

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corgi, an AI-native insurance company, has announced the appointment of Johannes “Joe” Els as Head of Portfolio Risk as it expands into a broad range of new commercial insurance lines.

In his new role, Els will lead Corgi’s insurance portfolio monitoring and risk strategy, overseeing portfolio risk discipline, reserving, technical pricing, and capital model oversight across the company’s full-stack carrier group.

Els joins Corgi from Policy Expert, where he served as interim Head of Risk and Reserving, leading portfolio management and reserving. Prior to that, he spent nearly seven years as Head Actuary at Motability Operations, where he led reserve reviews, technical pricing, and capital model calibration.

A Chartered Actuary Fellow with more than 20 years in general insurance, Els has held actuarial and pricing roles across the market. He built the algorithmic logic behind a commercial Property Owners underwriting platform at Allianz, priced mid-market, SME, and MGA business at RSA, managed portfolios at Brit Insurance and its Lloyd’s syndicate, and managed medical schemes at Medscheme in Cape Town.

Els joins a growing roster of senior insurance industry veterans at Corgi, including Jeremy Eisemann, who was named Head of Government Affairs and Associate General Counsel after serving in senior roles at the Reinsurance Association of America and Liberty Mutual. The hires reflect Corgi’s continued investment in deep insurance expertise as it scales.

Nicolas Laqua, CEO and Co-Founder of Corgi, said, “Joe’s experience spanning actuarial science, pricing, reserving, and capital management makes him exceptionally well-suited to support Corgi’s continued growth.”

“I am excited to join Corgi at such an important time for the insurance industry,” Els said. “Corgi pairs serious insurance expertise with a fresh approach to how technology and data can improve underwriting, and after two decades in the market, I am excited to help build the portfolio risk discipline needed to support that growth. I look forward to turning complex risk into clear, commercial insight as the company expands into new lines.”

Tenant Inc. Launches Alita™, AI-Powered Chat That Converts Intent Into Action for Self-Storage Operators

Published

on

By

IRVINE, Calif., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tenant Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based SaaS solutions for the self-storage industry, today announced the launch of Alita™, an AI-powered chat solution embedded directly into the Tenant Inc. platform. Alita is designed to close the gap between tenant intent and action — transforming AI chat from a customer service tool into a full conversion and self-service channel.

Self-storage chatbots have always been good at answering questions. What they haven’t been able to do — until now — is turn those answers into action. When a renter is ready to reserve a space, most chat tools hand off to a form, a checkout page, or a phone call. Each redirect is a drop-off point. Alita changes that equation entirely. Renters can browse available spaces with value pricing tiers, select a unit, and complete a reservation without ever leaving the conversation. Existing tenants can retrieve their gate code or make a payment through the same seamless experience — authenticated, accurate, and handled without staff involvement.

“Alita was built for the full lifecycle of the tenant relationship,” said Lance Watkins, CEO and Founder of Tenant Inc. “A prospect finds a space and reserves it without leaving the chat. An existing tenant gets their gate code or makes a payment the same way. It’s not a tool that answers questions and hands people off somewhere else — it keeps every interaction inside the conversation and turns it into an outcome.”

Alita connects directly to real-time inventory, pricing, and tenant account data within the Tenant Inc. platform, ensuring every interaction is accurate, contextual, and actionable. Alita enables operators to:

Convert Renters at Peak Intent: Surface available spaces with value pricing tiers directly in chat, enabling renters to select a unit and complete a reservation without redirects or forms.Automate Tenant Self-Service: Allow existing tenants to authenticate and retrieve gate codes or receive a one-time secure payment link via SMS — eliminating routine calls to the office.

Why This Matters to Self-Storage Operators:

Higher Conversion Rates: Every redirect in the rental process is an opportunity for a renter to abandon. Alita keeps the action where the intent is — inside the chat.Reduced Staff Burden: Gate code requests and payment inquiries are among the most common reasons tenants call the office. Alita handles both automatically and accurately.

About Tenant Inc.

Tenant Inc. is a technology company that offers a cloud-based, all-in-one vertical SaaS technology solution, purpose-built for the self-storage industry. Tenant Inc. provides a single platform of storage facility management software, storage rental websites, marketing, payment processing, data analytics, and other technology solutions that give self-storage operators everything they need to run their business efficiently across point of sale, operations, and online rentals.
