Highland Europe leads a £13m Series A round in insurtech firm Hyperexponential to scale its engineering and commercial teams.
"The insurance industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, with data and technology being critical strategic drivers. Our software provides the tools that new entrants to the sector need in order to get to market with best-in-class analytics, and the functionality that incumbent insurers require in order to transform."
The Series A round was co-led by MTech Capital and Viola FinTech to support platform expansion and financial services growth.
"Given the strong demographic growth in the over 50s across developed countries, we are constantly surprised that most venture funding continues to flow into business models targeting millennials and Gen Z – at the exclusion of support and services for midlifers. With this funding round, we are delighted to bring on board some fantastic new investors who understand the seismic demographic shift underway in society and the opportunity this presents to better serve an under-represented audience."
The investment round was led by IQ Capital with backing from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a UK learning technology fund.
"We feel privileged to have both deep tech experts and world-leading educators on our cap table in this round, to help us achieve our ambition of becoming the world’s leading developer and distributor of deep learning and digital training solutions."
The round was led by Energy Impact Partners with participation from Future Energy Ventures, Cyan Finance, and angel investors.
"Electric vehicles are at an inflection point in most developed markets. The rise of electric vehicles is a significant opportunity for energy utilities, through new and innovative services, that support their customers to go electric. We are very proud to back the team around Nick and Chris as they have already proven that they can scale internationally by appealing to drivers, utilities and car manufactures at the same time."
