AGILONAUTE AND TEL4EXPAT: MILESTONES

2008 – 2011: An expat develops the concept

In 2008, Benoit Fuleran was working in Tunisia as technical manager for an IT development company. During this time, he often needed to telephone his family in France and, as a result, he developed Tel4Expat.

Back in France, Benoit further refined his telecommunications concept, using global servers in order to secure strong technical partnerships. He then establishes Agilonaute as a digital services company, covering three complementary areas: IT consultancy, secure hosting and telecommunication services.

2012 -2014: Tel4Expat launches

Benoit wins an entrepreneurship prize in Gironde, France, after progressing from concept and technical testing to launch phase, and securing an ever-growing clientele. The first version of Tel4Expat’s website is officially launched.

Fundraising takes place and the initial shareholders invest in Tel4Expat.

2014: Agilonaute generates momentum

Benoit partners up with Franck Bernard, an investor and developer. Franck brings on board his experience in marketing and sales in order to develop a global network of authorised dealers, and to focus on the company’s long-term growth strategy. With a keen interest in new technologies, Franck’s responsibilities include driving Tel4Expat’s operational growth.

2015: Tel4Expat expands internationally

After strengthening its recruitment efforts to cater to a growing market, Tel4Expat focuses on international growth. Tel4Expat starts by targeting different European countries with a significant contingent of French expats, offering them a telecommunications alternative that is cost-effective and reliable.

A new corporate ID is created, representing the company’s growing international presence.
