Finscale

This week we discuss the emerging risks resulting from technological and scientific progress. My guest Enrica highlights the need for innovative insurance solutions to address risks such as cybersecurity breaches or data privacy concerns. She explains how Wallife leverages data sets to identify and analyze these risks, and why this InsurTech faces challenges in accessing comprehensive data for accurate risk assessment and insurance pricing.

You'll gain insight into how their process of envisioning and designing protection measures involves collaboration with researchers, experts, and industry partners. Wallife works with all these stakeholders to ensure the affordability of its insurance products by assessing associated costs. We also talk about obstacles when researching and prototyping insurance products for risks not currently covered.

In the second part of the podcast, Enrica focuses on Wallife as a company, discussing its geographical presence, team, and value proposition. She also sheds light on Wallife's partnership with UNIQA Versicherung, explaining the nature of their collaboration and the reasons for choosing them. She presents Wallife's insurance plans, highlighting the risks covered and providing specific use cases.

Enrica also provides insights into the go-to-market strategy, Wallife's investors and their funding journey, particularly focusing on the recent Series A funding round, which showcases the company's growth and investor interest.
