ELEMENT extends the series A to 39 million Euro

Three years after being founded, new and existing investors back the development of ELEMENT – the overall investment in the German insurtech (seed and series A) increases to a total of 50 million Euro

Berlin, 19 August 2020 – ELEMENT, the leading white label provider for insurance solutions, increases the series A investment round by an additional 10 million Euro. The round is backed by SFV • GB L.P., a corporate venture capital fund managed by Sony Financial Ventures and the Japanese VC Global Brain, and existing investors. Among those raising their capital contribution are the fintech ecosystem finleap, the occupational pension fund Versorgungswerk Zahnaerztekammer Berlin as well as SBI Investment. The series A now totals 39 million Euro. Including the seed financing, the overall investment in ELEMENT since the start in 2017 adds up to 50 million Euro.

‘Recently, the Covid-19 pandemic has again proven the strength of our business model. After a very successful 2019, the coronavirus lockdown has only affected us for a short while. We closed both June and July with record numbers,’ comments Christian Macht, CEO of ELEMENT. ‘This strength is acknowledged by our investors also in this round extension. Hence, we will continue to scale with existing and new partners.’

ELEMENT closed 2019 with a gross written premium (GWP) of 4.3 million Euro and outperformed the German competitors – insurtechs with focus on B2B – considerably. This amount in GWP has already been surpassed in 2020. The technology company develops and administers insurance solutions for partners from various industries, using its proprietary product platform. Licensed as direct insurer, the company can underwrite these products inhouse. Recently, ELEMENT has launched a cyber cover together with Vodafone and expanded its partnership with Volkswagen. Additional products with existing and new partner companies, including the mobility sector, will go live shortly.
