“We want our rails to make insurance mainstream, improve access and provide great products while using Ai to power our claims management solutions”
Adebowale Banjo, CEO at Mycover said.
“Also, at the end of the day, everything boils down to the experience people get. What we understand or see in the market is that people will be more aligned to personalised products than just getting any insurance product in the market,” Alexander Igwe-Ifendu, Mycover.ai Co-founder, said.
According to him, the Insurtech company is making efforts to improve customers’ experience and help launch personalised products based on lifestyles and specific nuances.
Commenting on the investment, Dotun Olowoporoku, general partner at Ventures Platform said that Adebowale and his team is building the much-needed insurance infrastructure on the continent by taking collaborative approach and offers a suite of services that cover the entire spectrum of challenges as opposed to focussing on insurance penetration among the underserved.
