Storyline

How it unfolded.

  1. 01

    The opening

    Product insurance was sold badly at the shop counter and barely at all online — a distribution gap, not a product gap.

  2. 02

    The thesis

    Insurance sells best where the purchase decision already happens; the winner is whoever owns the checkout integration layer.

  3. 03

    What we did

    Supported retail and carrier partnership development and the international rollout of the embedded product.

  4. 04

    Where it stands

    Acquired by Allianz Partners in 2022 — a strategic exit into one of the world's largest insurance groups.

Outcomes

  • Trade sale to Allianz Partners
  • Embedded distribution live across 28 countries
  • Carrier and retailer partnerships spanning Europe and Japan
