Ottawa’s Slice Labs, a provider of cloud-based solutions for the on-demand insurance space, has raised US$20 million in its most recent funding round.
The Series A funding round was led by Canadian insurer The Co-operators – an important development following the company’s launch of its first-ever on-demand insurance product for homesharing hosts under the new duuo label.
Other investment participants included XL Innovate, Horizons, Munich Re/HSB Ventures, Sompo, Veronorte, the investment arm of Grupo Sura, and JetBlue Technology Ventures.
Together with the latest round, Slice’s total series A funding is now at US$31.6 million.
According to a press release from Slice Labs, the extended funding round will be used to globalize its Insurance Cloud Services (ICS).
“The ICS platform is rapidly growing as insurers increasingly realize the need to engage a cloud-based platform and the competitive edge a fully digital on-demand insurance offering provides,” commented Slice Labs CEO Tim Attia. “This exceptional bench of new and returning investors will be a tremendous asset as we continue scaling our business and experimenting with the unmatched potential of digital insurance.”
