Lifeaz develops easy-to-use, connected defibrillators for home and business use, combining hardware, monitoring, and training to improve emergency preparedness, and plans to expand its reach and operations across Europe.
Lifeaz, a France-based company focused on improving access to defibrillators for individuals and businesses, has closed a €13 million funding round. The round includes continued participation from existing investor Mutuelles Impact, initiated by La Mutualité Française and managed by XAnge in partnership with Impactivist, as well as new investments from BNP Paribas, GO CAPITAL, and Mirova, an affiliate of Natixis.
Founded in 2015, Lifeaz develops defibrillators designed for use in both home and business environments. The devices are designed to be easy to operate and provide step-by-step visual and audio guidance to assist users, including those without prior training. Connected technology enables remote monitoring and maintenance through regular automated self-checks, helping ensure the devices remain operational in emergency situations.
In addition to providing equipment, Lifeaz offers training resources through a free mobile application and in-person workshops to support awareness and preparedness for life-saving interventions.
Commenting on the funding, Johann Kalchman said the company aims to improve the availability of defibrillators and ensure that individuals feel prepared to respond in emergencies across both private and professional settings.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its customer base, increase the number of lives saved through its solutions, begin a broader rollout across Europe, and strengthen its organisation by adding new team members to support its next phase of growth.
