NAXXAR, Malta, August 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Innovative new insurtech, Sherpa, announces that it has raised $2.3 million in funding from angel investors in order to change the way personal insurance is delivered.

"We have completely re-thought the way insurance has worked for 100's of years," says Chris Kaye, CEO and co-founder of Sherpa.

"Doing away with the concept of the insurance 'product' and inventing a new, holistic way of underwriting risk. To traditional insurers, you are just the sum of your policies. At Sherpa, we treat each of our members as a unique person whose risks change all the time."

Launching in the UK later this year, Sherpa will offer a unique personal insurance account providing its members with unbiased guidance and personalised insurance through a digital, mobile friendly interface.

One account covering a multitude of risks

"Our investment in Sherpa is an embodiment of our belief in amazing people doing audacious things. Sherpa has assembled a fantastic team of industry veterans. It's the best team we have seen in InsurTech," said of his investment Mehrdad Piroozram, an entrepreneur and Partner at InsurTech.vc.
