Angloinfo

What Angloinfo does

Angloinfo is a web-based expat information and community platform founded in 2000 and headquartered in Plainfield, United States, operating under the brands AngloINFO and Smart Expat. The platform provides region-specific portals covering 47+ countries and 300+ cities/regions, each with a local business directory, classifieds marketplace, events calendar, discussion forums, how-to guides, networking features, and exclusive offers. Its core technology is a unified web platform with a shared architectural framework that localizes content per country and city; no mobile app, API, or SDK is offered, and the entire experience is delivered through browser-based self-service.

The platform serves two primary segments: expatriates and international residents (finding housing, jobs, services, and social connection) and travelers/visitors (short-term planning, accommodation, and local discovery). Angloinfo monetizes through three revenue streams: recurring membership subscriptions for enhanced user features, recurring premium directory listings paid by local businesses to reach expat audiences, and transaction/fee-based revenue from classified marketplace placements (property, jobs, motors, pets, goods). Go-to-market is community-led and organic, relying heavily on SEO and content marketing across thousands of long-tail region pages, supported by bi-weekly email newsletters and community word-of-mouth. The company is private, has 101-250 employees, has raised only one disclosed funding round (from Elderstreet Investments in 2006), and has no disclosed parent, leadership team, partnerships, M&A, or AI/ML capabilities in the source data.

Broad incumbents
