Achmea Innovation Fund has backed the micromobility insurer in a round led by Shift4Good.
Laka provides collective-driven insurance and circular economy services for bicycles and e-bikes across Europe. The company partners with major retailers and manufacturers to embed insurance directly at the point of sale.
European micromobility insurer Laka has secured a Series B follow on investment from Achmea Innovation Fund, following an extension of its latest funding round. The fresh capital will support the company as it enters its next phase of growth and expands further across Europe. The round also saw participation from lead impact investor Shift4Good, alongside a roster of existing backers including Autotech Ventures, Porsche Ventures, Ponooc, ABN AMRO Ventures, Creandum, 1818 Ventures, and Elkstone Partners. Alongside the financial backing, Henrieke Hoftijzer is joining the company board.
