Company mission
To radically simplify the journey for brokers to secure cover for their clients by applying a fully digital algorithmically driven process to a 333 year old industry.
Our take
Ki is an insurance provider looking to revolutionise the commercial insurance sector. It is entirely digital driven by algorithms, setting risk parameters and managing claims and exposure. It offers instant, on-demand access for users and clients, designed specifically with brokers in mind to evaluate policies and quotes using a platform optimised for efficiency and responsiveness. As part of this, Ki promises to follow leader's terms and always offers an instant line.
Ki is a Lloyd's of London syndicate for providing capital and accepting insurance risks, and was built as a collaboration between Google and specialised insurer Brit. It claims to offer the fastest route for brokers to receive a quote for their clients on the Lloyd's market.
Recent funding has allowed for extensive expansion of the company, and plans include further development into the company's algorithm. The company ultimately looks to establish itself as the centre of the specialist insurance sector to operate efficiently and seamlessly alongside the existing market.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Ki
- Happy, valued and accepted. These three words capture how we like every employee to feel at work
- Our culture is one where you can be yourself. We think that if you bring your authentic self to work, then you will thrive, and we will too. Building a diverse and inclusive culture doesn’t happen overnight though. It’s a journey that our people are part of

We encourage our people to meet across teams, share personal stories and understand different perspectives. It puts our people at the heart of shaping our inclusive workplace
- Supporting diversity initiatives such as Pride are part of our way of life here and we already have much to be proud of. Our Gender Pay Gap is similar to our peers and we actively look at ways to improve
- Our aspiration is to encourage everyone to be conscious advocates of diversity and inclusion. It is a very real business priority of ours. Together we will make this happen
