Global alternative reinsurance and investment platform Vesttoo has raised $15m in a Series B funding round from Mouro Capital.
MS&AD Ventures, which is the venture capital fund of Japanese insurer MS&AD Insurance, also joined the round.
Vesttoo will use the proceeds to drive the expansion of its Insurance-Linked Program (ILP) offering and a fully digital marketplace for insurance-based risk transfer and investments.
The latest round comes a few months after the $6m Series A funding round led by Hanaco Ventures.
Mouro Capital general partner Chris Gottschalk said: “We are excited to partner with Vesttoo as they continue to innovate and bring new products, such as the ILP, to market for both insurers and the capital markets.”
Vesttoo’s ILP offering is focused on collateralized life and p&c reinsurance transactions. The ILP offering allows investors to pledge existing securities as collateral in these transactions.
