Akur8

Founded in Paris in 2019 🇫🇷, and now based in the 9th arrondissement (a stone's throw from the Opéra!), our talented and diverse team has always been the cornerstone of Akur8. As we've grown, we've expanded our footprint around the world, establishing offices in the UK 🇬🇧, USA 🇺🇸, Italy 🇮🇹, Germany 🇩🇪 Japan 🇯🇵 and Canada 🇨🇦.

Comprising experts in Engineering, Product, Design, Cybersecurity, Sales, Marketing and more, our passion and expertise unite us.

We take pride in our remarkable growth, having doubled our customer base over the past two years, expanded our team across the globe, and, in 2024, acquired ARIUS - a specialized Insurance Reserving solution - that not only accelerates our expansion but also elevates our offering with an innovative actuarial platform.

We are dedicated to fostering excellence and maintain high hiring standards to identify the most talented individuals who will contribute to our continuous development ! 🚀

Akur8 is a young, dynamic, fast growing Insurtech startup that is transforming insurance pricing and reserving with transparent machine learning. 🚀

Why transform insurance pricing and reserving ?

For anyone who has been around the insurance space for
some time, innovation has been rather scarcer than other
sectors so far. This is especially true for core processes,
notably pricing that has largely remained a ‘dark niche’,
mastered by few technical experts, mostly using manual
legacy tools.
The potential for transformation and for unlocking added
value through pricing sophistication is tremendous, and
largely untapped.

At the heart of our organization lies the DNA of Akur8 : our four fundamental values.

Those values serve as a pillar for shaping our culture, guiding our daily actions, inspiring us and driving our successes.

They are also our north star ⭐️ – they guide us when feeling lost or uncertain.

We take pride to have a very open employment policy and we recruit a wide variety of profiles, the only requirement being that you're passionate and qualified ! 🚀

We actively support the Women In Tech movement and are proud to develop and maintain a gender parity environment, with a score of 96/100 on Professionnal Equality Index in 2023. 💜

An employee resource group was launched by Akur8 to foster a workplace culture that champions and promote diversity, equity and inclusion. 🧑‍🦽🏳️‍⚧️

We provide all employees in our Paris office with a credit to support sustainable mobility. 🌱
