Corgi raises back to back funding and becomes a $2.6 Billion company

Marsh Launches Coverpro.ae for UAE SMEs + Global Insurtech Funding Surges on AIIn this episode of FS Brew: News with Analysis, the hosts discuss Marsh UAE’s launch of CoverPro.ae, a new retail website aimed at small and medium enterprises, marking a shift toward digital-first distribution and raising questions about how Marsh will market to SMEs. They then review the Global Insurtech Funding Report (Be Insure), noting insurtech funding rose 19.5% year-on-year to $5.1B, driven largely by AI-focused startups, with an average deal size of $26M and AI liability/cyber deals highlighted. Examples include Paci’s $46M Series B and Corgi’s rapid back-to-back raises and valuation jump, plus a discussion on whether the Middle East could support an AI-native full-stack insurer. The episode also covers GCC insurance growth projections to 2030 and local product launches: Orient Insurance and Allianz Partners’ Sphera global health plan for expats, and Orient’s new war-risk solutions including political violence coverage.00:00 Welcome and Agenda00:11 Marsh UAE SME Portal01:33 How Marsh Will Market01:53 Insurtech Funding Rebounds03:07 Paci and Corgi Mega Rounds04:45 Corgi Growth and Culture05:58 Can GCC Build AI Insurers08:59 GCC Market Growth Outlook10:04 Orient Sphera Health Plan10:41 War Risk Add On Covers12:37 Wrap Up and SubscribeRenjit Philip:Consulting: https://linktr.ee/futureustrategygroup/Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.onemorethinginai.com⁠⁠⁠Work: https://www.futureu.co⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/renjit-philip⁠⁠⁠Vidya Veerapandian:⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidya-veerapandian/⁠I’ve got a favour to ask!

Breaking Barriers in Insurance: Julien Condamines' Vision for Claims with Novo AI

How Novo AI Uses AI to Cut Claims Leakage: Julien Condamines on Fraud, Waste & Abuse | FS BrewRenjit and co-host Vidya welcome Julien Condamines, co-founder of Novo AI, to the FS Brew Insurtech podcast to discuss why he chose claims as the starting point for innovation and how Novo AI now focuses on reducing fraud, waste, and abuse. Julien describes insurers facing rising medical inflation, legacy claims operations that fail to capture usable data, and regulatory premium caps that worsen loss ratios, making leakage control critical to sustainability. He outlines what an ideal claims team looks like with automated data extraction and medical coding, minimal manual intervention for clean claims, and faster clinical review of flagged cases to prevent unnecessary or abusive billing. The conversation also covers the difficulty of selling to insurers, typical enterprise sales cycles and pricing tied to claim volumes, ROI from leakage reduction, and Novo AI’s expansion beyond Singapore into regional and global markets.00:00 Welcome Julian00:10 Why Claims Matter01:38 Meteorite Risks Ahead03:30 Ideal Claims Team06:42 Why Claims Lag Behind08:51 Selling Into Insurers12:07 Deal Cycles And Pricing13:32 Leakage Drives ROI14:47 Trust Speed Explainability16:45 Claims Frustration Reality16:57 Protection Beyond Payouts17:05 Thailand Injury Scenario17:32 Insurer As Trusted Guide18:59 Novo AI Claims Automation19:57 Stopping Fraud And Leakage21:30 Advice For Gulf Insurers23:45 Scaling Beyond Singapore25:28 Rapid Fire Leadership27:52 AI Trend And Big Risks29:16 Kindness And Pay It Forward31:00 Final Thanks And ShoutoutRenjit Philip:Consulting: https://linktr.ee/futureustrategygroup/Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.onemorethinginai.com⁠⁠⁠Work: https://www.futureu.coSocials:Twitter / X: @renjitphilipLinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/renjit-philip⁠⁠⁠Vidya Veerapandian:⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidya-veerapandian/⁠I’ve got a favour to ask!
