Hyperexponential, a London-based insurtech startup, has successfully raised $73 million in Series B equity funding. The round was led by Boston-based VC firm Battery Ventures, with participation from existing investors Highland Europe and Andreessen Horowitz.
This fresh influx of funds will support Hyperexponential’s expansion into the US, as it plans to open an office in New York this year. The investment will also enable increased investment in new product capabilities to serve growing client demand in adjacent insurance markets, including the SME insurance sector. Furthermore, the company plans to double its global team to over 200 in 2025.
