European embedded insurtech Hepster has reised €10 mn in a Series B financing round from Element Ventures, Seventure Partners, and Claret Capital Partners. The new capital consists of equity and debt.
Despite a challenging fundraising environment, thanks to its continuous growth and the expansion of its market positioning, hepster was able to successfully close another financing round with existing and new investors.
The new funds will be deployed to support hepster’s continued expansion into new markets, delivering continued sustainable growth and securing hepster’s pathway to profitability.
Investors were attracted to the very positive development of all key performance metrics, its innovative approach of platform extensions and its strong momentum in securing compelling B2B partnerships, especially in the high-growth areas of mobility and the circular economy.

Do you believe in insurance that lets you choose benefits like Toppings? Your individual insurance solution is then seamlessly integrated into your customer journey and is ready for your customers.
It’s that easy to offer your customers an extended customer experience directly when they make a purchase. And your business can receive an extra boost through commission models.
“Why is insurance in the 21st century still so complicated? And above all, why is it so difficult to integrate into your everyday life? This is what we asked ourselves when working as insurance brokers. We decided to take things into our own hands”, hepster says.
Founded in 2016 in the German city of Rostock, hepster has operations in Germany, Austria and France. Its portfolio includes mobility, electronics, equipment, travel, pet and accident insurance.
