Akur8

Akur8 is a young, dynamic, fast growing Insurtech startup that is transforming insurance pricing and reserving with transparent machine learning.
Our SaaS platform leverages the power of transparent machine learning and predictive analytics to inject game-changing speed, performance and reliability into insurers’ pricing and reserving processes.
Powered by skilled R&D, Product & Actuarial teams we’ve developed unique AI algorithms that automate the insurance pricing and reserving in an unprecedented way.
This results in a pricing and reserving solution which not only allows insurance companies to model their risks 10 times faster, with a higher predictive power than traditional methods, but which also incorporates next generation reserving functionalities, helping to predict and legislate for future claims, therefore constituting a major game changer for the insurance industry.

With 38 nationalities within our team, and offices in Paris, London, New York, Tokyo, Atlanta, Montreal, Milan & Cologne, Akur8’s solution is international by design. Servicing more than 250 clients across 5 continents and targeting all non-life insurance carriers, we focus on more mature markets for faster expansion.
