There have been a number of Israeli insurtech startups bringing in the money these days. Just a few weeks ago, Sayata, an Israeli insuretech startup that offers a solution for insurance brokers and carriers to grow their business insurance portfolios, raised $17 million in series A funding. The company declares that it delivers rapid growth to insurance brokers and carriers that focus on small-to-medium businesses. The Sayata platform streamlines the quote-bind-issue process allowing insurance professionals to seamlessly place more insurance policies in a fraction of the time.
Also in August, Vesttoo , an Israeli insurtech startup that has developed technology in the field of risk management, completed a $6 million funding round. Founded in 2018 by CEO Yaniv Bertele, CPO Alon Lifshitz, and CTO Ben Zickel, Vesttoo specializes in data-driven risk management solutions for the P&C and longevity markets, using “cutting-edge technologies to transfer General Insurance, Lapse, and Longevity risk to the capital markets.”
Antidote Health, a supplier of telehealth services, raised $12 million in seed funding last month to establish an artificial intelligence-powered virtual Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).
