AstoryaVC

About

astorya.vc is investing in European seed insurtech startups, targeting the €1.3 trillion insurance market, currently lagging with digitization, adoption of AI, or addressing emerging, disruptive risks like climate change or cyber threats. Unique and curated deal flow. Combining insurance expertise from previous AXA & Allianz positions with data we gathered on over 4700 startups we've built our investment thesis. 50 private, family, and 5 corporate LPs who made money on insurance, support us with unparalleled know-how & network. Whereas a media following of 100k insurance professionals established us as a sector go-to fund. With 5 years of investing, we've built a pan-European portfolio of 12 seed companies, mostly as the first investors enjoying markup by tier-1 VCs. Currently, we are working on the first exits. Our affiliation with BGV, a $500 million AuM, experienced enterprise software VC, connects us to a global network of investors and partners, helping us to raise €40 million and take astorya.vc to the next level.
