With 28 nationalities within our team, and offices in Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Milan & Cologne, Akur8’s solution is international by design, targeting all non-life insurance carriers globally, whilst focusing on more mature markets for faster expansion.

With clients including Axa, MunichRe, Generali, ERGO & Tokio Marine, and having closed our $30m Series B in June 2021 with reputable international investors, we’re poised to continue our growth, in the process becoming the global leader in insurance rate making.
