Storyline

How it unfolded.

  1. 01

    The opening

    European insurance distribution was fragmented across tens of thousands of independent brokers with no shared technology layer — high trust, low leverage.

  2. 02

    The thesis

    Digitise the broker rather than replace them: give advisors a platform that removes admin, and the customer relationship follows the technology.

  3. 03

    What we did

    Backed the company early, supported commercial hiring across DACH and opened doors to carrier and distribution partners in adjacent markets.

  4. 04

    Where it stands

    A multi-market platform combining a carrier licence with an advisor network — one of the largest insurtech franchises in Europe.

Outcomes

  • Scaled from a single market to six European markets
  • Own carrier licence added to the distribution platform
  • Institutional capital from global growth investors in successive rounds
