Past and future
Their story
The insurance industry's tech legacy has made it expensive and complex for brokers to protect their customers.
They’re PHD graduates, serial entrepreneurs, compliance gurus, former brokers or members of the ACPR regulatory body. They were dreaming of another future for insurance. Together, they built it.
Seyna built an SaaS platform combining a risk-carrying capacity and all the productivity tools brokers and retailers need to instantly build the right UX and insurance covers to protect their customers.
Since the launch of its operations, over 100 leading brokers and brands have shifted to Seyna to protect over 750k customers. And it’s only the beginning.

Their vision
Seyna’s vision is bold - we are building the infrastructure enabling any company to create, sell and manage insurance. Selling insurance should be as easy as using Stripe to collect payments or Shopify to run your eCommerce.
Our goal is to shift the €560Bn EU P&C market onto Seyna’s platform. And we're off to a great start. Our leadership team includes experienced operators from insurance and high growth technology companies. Seyna raised €47 million total investment from Global Founders Capital, White Star Capital, Elaia, Allianz and La Financière Saint James – including a record €33 million Series A in December 2021. Our clients already include large brokers (Verspieren), fast-growing insurtechs (Garantme) and major distributors (FNAC, ElectroDepot).
We have a very ambitious mission with tough problems to work on. It’ll only be possible if we have the best on our team. Join us!
Company values
“Insurance is a protecting force helping the world move forward. It allow people to take the leap they wouldn’t have taken otherwise...
But the insurance sector is being held back by its tech legacy. In the front line are insurance brokers, building the protections the world needs to venture out, innovate. But protecting their customers has become complex and expensive.
This is why we built Seyna. We provide a SaaS solution with an embedded risk-carrying capacity to give brokers all the tools they need to create, distribute, and run their insurance business. To help them protect the World in its projects.
“Enable Insurance. Enable World Progress.”
Be Bold and Act Fast
Etienne, Health Insurance Expansion Manager, had only joined Seyna for a month. But he took on the responsibility of finalizing the product roadmap and representing Seyna at a key Healthtech event a couple of weeks later. We are looking for people who dream big, take risks, make decisions and deliver quickly.
Build it, Track it, Tweak it
Jennifer, Head of Compliance, took the initiative of building a Compliance Guide to help brokers run their insurance business. She led its publication in a website form to test its relevance to our customers. Through iterations, it has become Seyna’s #1 lead generation asset. Everything we do is measured, analysed, improved. Success is a process
Be Insanely Helpful
Jules, our Data Guru, wanted to help one of our partners in automating their data checks. So he developed a python algorithm that does just that. Aim to consistently exceed your customers’ expectations. Make your clients and colleagues think “I can’t believe they went that far to help me. It’s insane”
Grow Together
Pierrick, one of our chief actuaries, happens to hold a PhD in risk analysis. So he held a MasterClass for the whole team to decrypt what truly is behind “Applied machine learning”. As Seyna grows, we expect team members and customers to benefit, professionally and personally, from that growth. That is key.
Humble Experts
Pascal, Engineering manager, has over 10 years experience in his field. Yet he frequently organises meet-ups with fellow developers from companies like Payfit or even Disney to share knowledge and best practices. Always keep exploring. Never stop listening.
Own it. Build it.
Jean-Baptiste, star musician and actuary, needed a tool to automate and optimise actuarial calculations. So he built “Gustaf”, a homemade actuarial toolbox to quickly generate Loss Ratio and Reserve Validation analyses. Seynators own their scope. They get their hands dirty to press forward to success.
