AI-powered insurtech Concirrus closes £5m funding
London-based insurance firm Concirrus has raised £5 million in equity funding, bringing its total raised to £12 million.

On a Quest for insurtech treasures
Max Bautin, partner at IQ Capital – who will join the Concirrus board following the funding – says: “We have followed the Concirrus team since 2015 and have been very excited about the potential to combine deep internet of things (IoT) data with machine learning to deliver valuable outcomes for maritime, automotive and other types of insurance.”
Concirrus offers its software, Quest, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret datasets in real-time. Through integrating with an insurer, reinsurer or broker’s existing system, it then combines this data with historical claims information and uses AI to reveal previously hidden behaviours that correlate to claims.
The firm has focused on developing two core products – Quest Marine and Quest Motor – since its last fundraise in 2016.
However, Concirrus says its technology could be applied to any line of insurance and any insurers, reinsurers and brokers that are considering using connected devices and technology to provide “accurately-priced” policies.
