Our take
Alan addresses health insurance for businesses and employees in Europe through a healthcare app, backed by official regulatory approval. This endorsement grants Alan the ability to offer a wide range of regulated healthcare insurance services, distinguishing it in the market.
Focused on user experience and customer satisfaction, Alan employs a people-centric approach, streamlining insurance claims and designing user-friendly health insurance products. While competitors like Babylon and Ada Health exist, Alan's primary focus on health insurance sets it apart.
Despite macroeconomic challenges prompting a readjustment of goals, Alan achieved significant revenue growth in 2023, driven by expanding its clientele and leveraging AI tools for enhanced productivity. With a robust cash revenue, Alan plans to sustain growth, consolidate its position in the existing markets, and explore expansion into new territories, positioning itself for potential future IPO.
