Anorak Technologies has scored a ?4m seed funding round from Kamet Ventures, AXA ?100m incubator.
Anorak uses data science and machine learning technology to help consumers in the UK get the correct cover they need. The technology collects and analyses data about a user family, home, income and finance, to find the right policy from major insures.
The company API can be integrated with existing platforms and Anorak has partnered with online banking and e-commerce platforms, so it can help consumers with policies at the right time.
Anorak co-founder and CEO David Vanek said, ?Using data science and software engineering, we have digitised the entire journey, including policy rating and matching, translating insurance jargon into plain English, to empower people to make the right choices about their life insurance. We see ourselves as a smart data company that delivers independent insurance advice, founded on trust and transparency.p>
