iCover, a US-based insurtech that offers algorithmic underwriting platform as a service (PaaS), has raised an undisclosed sum in its seed funding round.
iCover plans to use the latest fund infusion to launch a direct-to-consumer offering to expand insurance distribution, hire technical staff and focus on sales and marketing.

Concurrently, iCover announced a multi-year partnership with a community-focused life insurance company, KSKJ Life.
The partnership will allow iCover to onboard life insurer’s offerings to digitise their new business operations.
