Blockchain insurance technology company Igloo concluded a $36 million Series C pre-financing round, led by Eurazeo with participation from Openspace Ventures and La Maison.

In 2022, Igloo secured $27 million and concluded a comprehensive Series B financing round, totaling $46 million. The InsuResilience Investment Fund II of the German Development Bank KfW, WAM, Finnfund, La Maison, and Cathay Innovation participated in the investment.
InsurTech Leverages AI and Blockchain for Enhanced Results
Insurance companies function within a competitive environment where customers seek optimal value for their money and a superior experience.
Blockchain technology represents an opportunity for positive developments and expansion in the insurance industry, facilitating efficiency gains, cost savings, improved transparency, accelerated payouts and fraud mitigation. Additionally, it allows for real-time data sharing among various parties in a trusted and traceable manner.
In the recent development, the New York-based company Arbol unveiled an insurance platform powered by AI and blockchain, designed for reinsurance, and focused towards severe storm catastrophes. Its parametric insurance schemes offer compensation for weather-related events such as storms and floods.
Igloo’s recent achievement reflects a deliberate effort to strengthen its infrastructure, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation and its ongoing evolution toward advancing its AI- and blockchain-powered solutions.
