Eos Venture Partners, a London, UK-based InsurTech Venture Capital fund manager, and Twelve Capital, a Zürich, Switzerland-based investment manager specialising in the insurance industry, have teamed up to provide growth funding for InsurTech companies.
With a specialised fund, Twelve and Eos aim to accelerate digital innovation in the insurance industry through investing into the global InsurTech sector, which, according to a study by Valuates Reports published in August 2021, is expected to grow at 34.4% annually and reach USD 119.4bn by 2027.
With an exclusive focus on InsurTech and adjacent opportunities, the fund will capitalize on Twelve Capital’s insurance network and Eos’ InsurTech expertise to invest later stage growth capital (primarily Series C and beyond) in fast growing companies where Eos has a strong relationship through their early stage investments or are otherwise known to the firm.
