ELEMENT, the Berlin-based white-label provider of digital insurance solutions, has raised €16 million (US$19.5 million), in additional investment from existing and new investors.
The additional capital will be used to continue the company’s growth.
With the latest funding round, total investment in the insurtech ELEMENT comes to €66 million ($80.3 million), only four years after its inception.
New investors are the investment firm Witan Group and Luxembourg-based fintech investor Ilavska Vuillermoz Capital – both investing in ELEMENT for the first time. Existing investors that participated in the financing round include finleap, signals VC, Versorgungswerk der Zahnärztekammer Berlin, and the European VC Mundi Ventures.
“We are Germany’s strongest B2B insurtech in the property/casualty sector. Having just completed the five strongest sales months in the company’s history, our B2B2X-approach has proven to be extremely successful,” commented Dr. Christian Macht, CEO of ELEMENT.
“The new investments show that not only our existing investors, but also new investors are convinced of our business model. Therefore, we will continue to follow our strategic approach and intensify the scaling process,” he added.
ELEMENT reported €6.8 million (US$8.3 million) in gross written premiums in 2020.
