The international insurtech bolttech is now valued at $1.6 billion after raising $196 million in its Series B round, led by Japanese insurer Tokio Marine.
Other key investors include MetLife Next Gen Ventures, a subsidiary of MetLife, and Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund Khazanah Nasional, as well as new and existing shareholders.
The Series B proceeds will further fuel growth, including investment in proprietary technology, digital capabilities for business partners and end consumers as well as talent in 30+ bolttech markets, the insurtech said.
