Charles Gorintin co-founded Alan in 2016 with Jean-Charles Samuelian-Werve. Samuelian-Werve became CEO and Gorintin took technology.
The pair set out to get an insurer licence of their own, which let Alan run the whole experience from signup to claim.
Alan shipped its first MVP in 2018 and ended that year with about 25,000 members and 2,000 companies.
In September 2024 it raised at a €4.5 billion valuation. In March 2026 it raised about €100 million at about €5 billion.
