Company mission

Sherpa are on a mission to empower customers to take control of their financial wellbeing and boost their protection.

Our take

Sherpa is flipping the insurance model on its head, insuring people, not products. Whereas traditional insurance companies insure risk on a product by product basis with separate underwriting processes and policies, Sherpa looks at the individual consumer holistically with a single underwriting process and single account. This new business model shakes-up the archaic $4 trillion insurance industry by cutting out multiple middle-men, saving customers time and money.

Sherpa uses artificial intelligence and personal data to educate consumers on the risks that matter most and then building the right cover to fit their unique needs. It's a no-commission model, delivering a product based around the needs of people, not insurance companies.

The company partners with insurers and distributors, providing the Score and their robo-advisory technology to help conversations and relationships with customers. They are playing in a similar space to Lemonade in the U.S., which is also disrupting the insurance market in innovative ways.
