This funding round will allow us to expand our team with industry experts, to continue to develop our product, and to empower our distribution channels to build a European leader.”

Alison Imbert, Principal at Partech, commented: “We don’t fund projects, but teams. This is where Orus stands out with a concentration of talent, an excellent execution and an obsession with customer satisfaction making it for us the best company to quickly conquer the European market.”

Itxaso del Palacio, General Partner at Notion, added: “At present, insurance products are mainly designed for large corporations and don’t satisfy the needs of the SMBs. Orus is providing a new generation of insurance solutions that are modular and can be purchased in real-time, allowing small-business owners to build and pay only for the policies they need. The team has a clear understanding of the distribution channels, and we believe they are well positioned to grow into new European markets with this funding round.”
