Pentech Fund III invests in Digital Fineprint

London, Edinburgh, 8th January 2017 Digital Fineprint (DFP) is pleased to announce its second fundraising round, which saw new and existing investors commit US$2.7m (£2m) into the company. Pentech led the round.
Existing investors also participated in the round, and new investors included Force Over Mass, and angel investors from the insurance and fintech community (including Andy Homer, the previous CEO of AXA UK).

Marc Moens, partner at Pentech Ventures, will join DFP’s board of directors.

“As a fund, we have looked closely at the insurtech space and the traction achieved by the team at DFP in such a short amount of time is impressive. Their niche focus on helping insurers use social media to find new customers and gain actionable insights has worked well, and we are looking forward to helping DFP grow,” Marc added.

Since its inception at Oxford University in 2016, Digital Fineprint has gone on to work with insurers such as Hiscox, MetLife, QBE, and Allianz, and are now expanding in the UK and abroad. These insurers are using DFP’s expertise in machine learning technology, predictive modeling and social media analytics to increase lead generation and product upsell/crosssell. The platform also generates actionable insights for marketing, underwriting, and risk.

Erik Abrahamsson, CEO of DFP said: “Partnering with Pentech is an amazing milestone for Digital Fineprint and the whole team is excited about this great opportunity.”
“ It’s fantastic to see the growth in the value we create, both for the insurers using our platform and their end customers, and we are looking forward to continuing to expand the business so that we can partner with further insurers.”
