Start-ups

Durable Capital, T Rowe Price Associates and Whale Rock Capital led the InsurTech’s latest round.

The executive joined Vantage on Monday, after spending the last 10 years at Axa XL.

The Silicon Valley-based Vouch, launched in 2019, raised $90mn at a $550mn valuation in its Series C round.

The Greg Hendrick-led firm added Richard Wall from Axa XL, Bhuma Patel from CNA, and Leona Lik from Aon for the buildout.

Eigen Technologies, which helps insurers and brokers extract and digitise data from various sources, hopes to accelerate growth with new investment in the London market.

The latest funding round was co-led by Icon Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

The new company will be named Newfront and is expected to place $2bn in premiums annually.

The executive will exit the Greg Hendrick-led start-up on July 2.

AIG, Axis, Chubb, Travelers, and The Hartford are among the underwriters to support the launch.

Ahead of its expected July 1 start, the underwriter promised “efficient and transparent processes” and “consistent decision-making".

The latest funding round brings the company’s total funding to date to $82.5mn.

The pair will work in New York under the leadership of former Willis executive William Monat.
