UK InsurTech Konsileo Raises €5.9M for AI Expansion
Konsileo, a UK-based chartered insurance broker, has closed a €5.9 million (£5 million) equity round to support continued growth. The round was led by existing long-term shareholders Committed Capital, with participation from ACF Investors. The funding follows a €3.2 million raise in April 2018 and €9.4 million in debt and equity financing in November 2024. Konsileo plans to use the funds to attract experienced brokers, enhance its proprietary broking platform with AI capabilities, and sustain organic growth. Founded in 2017 by John Warburton and Peter Henderson, the company employs over 220 people and arranges more than €100.5 million in annual insurance premiums. Its in-house platform automates administrative tasks and embeds compliance checks. Konsileo operates a 'Teal' organizational model with self-managed teams and focuses on organic growth rather than acquisitions.
Funding for an InsurTech platform that integrates AI into its broking operations, relevant to the broader adoption of AI in insurance technology, but not directly impacting core AdTech or digital advertising.
