Insurtech incubators
Our insurtech incubators in London and Sydney go far beyond the typical value-add investor. We combine deep industry insight with access to the tools, capital, and connections founders need to transform how risk is measured, mitigated and managed. Purpose-built for early-stage founders, our platform draws on nine years of experience incubating more than 45 ventures.
Choosing your first investor is a pivotal moment. It’s not just about raising money — it’s about finding a partner who understands you and adds real value. We invest in one company at a time to ensure every founder receives hands-on, tailored support. When you join a Gateway insurtech incubator, we go all in: helping you design breakthrough insurance products and technology, shape distribution strategies, access underwriting capacity, navigate regulation, and secure pre-seed funding.
An experienced team with deep in-house capabilities. Over the past nine years, we’ve built a comprehensive build and launch platform designed to unlock progress.
