Vesttoo, a Tel Aviv, Israel-based technology-driven global insurance risk transfer platform, announced that it raised $80 million in Series C funding, valuing the company at $1 billion.
The round was co-led by Mouro Capital and a private equity fund, with participation from a US-based bulge bracket investment bank, Gramercy Ventures, Black River Ventures, and Hanaco Ventures.
Vesttoo intends to use the capital raised to expand its global presence further, enhance its marketplace platform and widen its offering to insurers and investors.
“Our clients and equity partners understand the Vesttoo vision and the opportunity we provide,” said Yaniv Bertele, CEO of Vesttoo. “In a time rife with uncertainty, Vesttoo is showing resilience, financial strength, and profitability, thanks to our compelling value proposition. Our AI-based marketplace is set to propel the insurance industry forward by better connecting risk to capital sourced from global investors.”
Vesttoo has further developed its AI-based marketplace, the company’s data-driven platform that facilitates the investment of new sources of capital in the insurance market. Investors benefit by accessing a low-volatility risk class uncorrelated to financial markets.
In the past year, the company has rapidly expanded its global operations: hiring professionals in London, Hong Kong, Seoul, Dubai, and Tokyo, as well as growing its New York and Tel Aviv bases, establishing a Bermuda-based collateralized insurer, and hiring senior talent to bolster its executive leadership team.
