Flitter hopes to bolster its tech, operations, and customer support teams and grow its workforce to 40 employees with the assistance of this new capital. By 2024, the corporation expects to turn a profit as well.
Jérémy Steinberg, co-founder and CEO of Flitter, said: “18 months ago, we started from scratch to build a more efficient insurance model, tailored to the mobility needs of today. Our goal has always been to create a profitable company, by innovating while keeping an eye on costs. This new round, and the support from insurance experts like Helvetia, will allow us to continue our steady growth and reach profitability by the end of 2024.”
Michael Wieser, Partner of Helvetia Venture Fund, added: “Car insurance is a €150 billion market in Europe, but few new players have positioned themselves to innovate against traditional incumbents, and none have managed to build a profitable model. Flitter’s model is well-positioned to succeed in this challenge and become one of the first insurtechs to achieve profitability while maintaining sustained growth.”
