Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
The insurance industry is a major component of the economy given the essential social and economic role it plays by covering personal and business risks. Yet, despite being one of the largest industries in the world, it has operated the same way for hundreds of years, failing to utilise technology and innovation to become more streamlined, leaving it at risk of being left behind by industries like banking, which are evolving fast. Companjon wants to change this.
A leading European tech venture, it specialises in embedded insurance that’s fully digital, end-to-end, and hassle-free. Tech-driven, it is aiming to disrupt the US and European insurance market. It's EDI (event-driven interactions) model has already proven hugely successful in Asia, and as one of the early businesses to bring this into the Western markets, Companjon will have a big head start.
Having been named Europe's 'Insurtech Company of the Year' for 2022, its success is clear and its reputation is strong. Companjon's current priority is to capitalise on this momentum and continue propelling its growth in the sector. If the company continues to invest in the platform and make strategic expansion moves - such as a partnership with competitor bunq in February 2023 - it should continue on its streak of success.
