US-based insurtech.accelerator invests in ZURU

insurtech.accelerator, Latam’s leading insurtech accelerator, has decided to invest in Zuru Logistics Insurtech, the region’s first digital ecosystem specializing in protection, risk management, and on-demand insurance for the logistics sector. Zuru participated in Batch 02 of the Latam Insurtech Accelerator program and was selected to receive the investment, which will be used to strengthen its customer acquisition strategies and bolster its commercial and technology teams. 

All the products we consume reach us through logistics supply chains, and we know the economic impact countries and populations suffer when these chains are disrupted—whether because of their growing complexity and number of stakeholders, climate-related issues, or rising insecurity along transportation routes. When one stakeholder suffers, the entire chain suffers; therefore, protecting every stakeholder is essential to building resilient and sustainable supply chains. 

"Zuru Logistics Insurtech’s mission is to close the protection and insurance gap in the logistics sector through data and technology. Identifying shipment-level risks to set dynamic, on-demand rates using artificial intelligence, and offering protection and claims recovery services, are among the services we believe will close this gap," said Gianmarco Scarsi, Founder & CEO of Zuru. 

Meanwhile, insurtech.accelerator’s mission is to help insurtechs scale and become high-growth businesses through investment, mentorship, and networking. 

"We firmly believe in Zuru and are committed to providing whatever support is needed to help it succeed," said Pablo Duarte, Founder of insurtech.accelerator.
