Our take
wefox is an insurtech platform where shoppers can compare and purchase insurance products from their phones, and onto which brokers can onboard their clients to help manage operations. The aim is to complement, not render obsolete, the role of the human agents and brokers with whom wefox works.
The company focuses on personal insurance products, such as household insurance, motor insurance and personal liability insurance. It hit Unicorn status in 2019 - becoming the fastest-ever European Fintech to do so - and was valued at over $4.5 billion in 2023.
wefox is continuing to double its revenues and maintain a focus on growth with a clear path towards profitability, whilst strengthening its Board with the appointment of strong senior talent. It is investing heavily in deepening its European presence, expanding to Asian markets, and off the back of debt funding at the end of 2023, is focusing more on its broker operations. Despite layoffs in the same year, it is rapidly developing and releasing new insurance products to continue its disruption of the $5.2 trillion industry.
