We are long-term investors in early-stage startups who will shape the future of insurance. This does not mean you need to be an “insurtech”. In fact, most of our investments are outside the core of what you would typically call insurance. This is based on our belief that the future of our industry will be shaped by new technologies and business models, platforms and ecosystems.
Run by former entrepreneurs, our fund has a very hands-on approach and places a lot of emphasis on the relationship with the founders. Though a cooperation with our business units is not a requirement for an investment, we actively encourage you to make use of the resources our backer, Helvetia Insurance, has to offer.
