Alan offers start-ups and SMEs
top-up health insurance with direct subscription that is 100% online. Following those in Lendix and H4D,
this is the third investment of the Open CNP programme.
As part of Open CNP, CNP Assurances is continuing its programme to invest in and partner with innovative startups,
and is pleased to announce today that it has taken a stake in Alan. Alan is the leading independent insurance
company and was founded in France 30 years ago. Its ambition is to develop health insurance in France by
concentrating on the customer experience, long-term care and the deployment of value-added digital services. For
a flat rate of €55, Alan offers start-ups and SMEs top-up health insurance with direct subscription that is 100%
online. It takes less than five minutes to sign up on the website.
The leading investor in this €12 million fund-raising operation, alongside Power Financial of Canada, Partech
Ventures and individual entrepreneurs, CNP Assurances plans to support the development of this start-up and will
also be its leading re-insurer. Hélène Falchier, head of private equity at CNP Assurances and CEO of Open CNP,
is joining the Alan board of directors.
CNP Assurances is ranked as one of the world’s top 50 institutional investors for unlisted funds. This long-standing
relationship with the world of private equity enables the Group, as France’s top insurer, to naturally identify
innovative start-ups and, with Open CNP, to financially support their growth while developing mutually rewarding
partnerships. With funding of €100 million to be allocated over five years, Open CNP is focused on companies in
similar fields of activity to those of CNP Assurances: e-health, fintech, insurtech, development of offerings and
technologies that meet today’s needs for personal protection, etc. In 2016, Open CNP has already conducted two
transactions: Lendix in April, and H4D in September.
“We are delighted to contribute to the launch of Alan, the leading independent insurance company launched 30
years ago on the French market, and to become its leading re-insurer. Supporting the development of this 100%
online start-up on the top-up health insurance market as part of the Open CNP programme falls wholly within the
digital development of the CNP Assurances group”, commented Frédéric Lavenir, CEO of CNP Assurances.
