What Alenvi does

Alenvi is a Paris-headquartered, mission-driven social enterprise providing home care services (aide à domicile) and shared housing (colocations Alzheimer / maisons partagées) for elderly people with cognitive disorders in France. Founded in 2015 by Guillaume Desnoës and operated through the legal entity Home SAS, the company delivers care via 6 local agencies across Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Val de Marne, and Seine-et-Marne, alongside 5 shared houses in Île-de-France accommodating 8-10 residents each. The company serves approximately 350 families through two core product lines — recurring home assistance delivered by 'auxiliaires d'envie' organized in autonomous teams of 6-8, and 24/7 shared living arrangements — and serves the broader market through Compani, a wholly-owned training subsidiary that supports care profession transformation.

The business operates on a subscription/recurring revenue model with a 'social tariff' (tarif social) that adjusts pricing based on departmental APA coverage and beneficiary income, supplemented by PCH, AVF, and tax-credit financing mechanisms. Alenvi is the first company in the French eldercare sector to register as a société à mission and holds ESUS accreditation, positioning it within the social and solidarity economy framework. Capital is sourced from impact investors (Nov ESS, Elzéard, Phitrust) alongside a disclosed 2017 WILCO seed round of approximately $134K, and growth is supported by a franchise-like 'Réseau Alenvi' channel model and partnerships with disability-sector organizations (Handiphil, Fratries).

The technology stack is service-oriented rather than platform-based: no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or proprietary software products are disclosed, and the differentiated moat rests on the proprietary autonomous-teams organizational model, brand reputation in Alzheimer's care, and a dense local distribution footprint. Recent strategic activity includes geographic expansion into Loire-Atlantique (Orvault), a webinar partnership with Fondation Odilon Lannelongue in April 2025, and continued ecosystem buildup through shared-housing channel partners such as Biens Communs.
