Our take
Startups can find it hard to get insured, thanks to legacy systems that struggle to accommodate the concept of, for example, a successful company flush with funding but low on revenue. Vouch is a US insurtech startup looking to right this wrong for startups right from seed stage.
Instead of applying unsuitable risk assessment procedures, adding irrelevant coverage, and wrapping the whole thing up in startup-prohibitive exclusions, Vouch’s approach is to reform the process from the ground up. Cutting loose in this way from legacy processes means Vouch both offers an unusually tailored product, and can pivot more swiftly towards the rapidly changing requirements of its startup clientele. For example, by offering additional packages suitable to remote working when workforces pivoted online.
It’s won Vouch strong investor confidence, with backers including Y-Combinator and Silicon Valley Bank, and around $6B in risk protected. This is relevant, because publicly traded insurtech startup giants like Lemonade and Root have been routed in the markets recently. Vouch’s strong and relatively protected position could see it sneak up on them, if it can maintain its momentum.
