The Problem Is Real. The Gap Is Dangerous.

Over 500,000 English-speaking expats live in France alone. When they face emergencies, the language barrier turns manageable situations into dangerous ones.

Medical Crisis

A patient cannot explain their allergies, medications, or emergency contacts to a French paramedic. Every second of confusion matters.

Road Accident

The French constat amiable has 15 boxes. Tick the wrong one and the insurer assigns fault. There is no English guide — until now.

Home Emergency

Midnight. Gas smell. The expat does not know the French word for 'plumber', let alone how to describe the location to a dispatcher.

Why No-One Else Does This

No direct competitor exists in Europe. Expat911 in Mexico validates the model but offers a fraction of our feature set.

1

The 'I Cannot Speak' pathway

SMS 114 integration with pre-populated medical data and GPS. No other app in the world offers this for European emergencies.

2

Bystander Mode

Turns an unconscious user's phone into a bilingual emergency card. French-speaking strangers can act immediately without any translation barrier.

3

Constat amiable helper

The only English-language interactive guide to France's mandatory accident report form. Every expat driver in France needs this.

4

White-label from day one

The partner system is built into the platform architecture, not bolted on. Each insurance partner brings thousands of users at near-zero acquisition cost.

5

Offline-first architecture

Every core feature works without internet connectivity. Emergencies do not wait for Wi-Fi, and rural France has significant coverage gaps.

6

Built by expats

Dave and Helen Oldham have lived in Normandy for years. The product solves problems they encounter personally — authentic credibility no competitor can claim.

The Vision — Truly Global

We're starting with English speakers in Europe. The long-term vision is every language, every country — wherever language barriers put lives at risk.

Phase 1 — Western Europe

Launch with France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Italy. Prove demand with the 1M+ English-speaking expat market. App available on all app stores by end of April 2026.

Phase 2 — Global Languages

Expand to support any language pair — German speakers in Spain, French speakers in the UK, Mandarin speakers in Australia. The platform architecture is language-agnostic by design.

Phase 3 — B2B & Enterprise

White-label licensing to travel insurers, relocation agencies, employers, and international health providers. Each partnership brings thousands of activated users at near-zero acquisition cost.
