OUR STORY
A differentiated insurtech ecosystem
MTech Capital was founded by Brian McLoughlin and Kevin McLoughlin. Brian, a long-time fintech investor at Upfront Ventures, and Kevin, former Global Head of Insurance Investment Banking at BofA Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, recognized a once-in-a-generation digital transformation was underway in the insurance industry.
MTech raised capital in 2018-19 from strategic investors including some of the world’s largest insurers, brokers and asset managers. Founders of our portfolio companies leverage our unique understanding of the insurance sector, our extensive network of industry relationships, and our deep capital markets experience to help them grow and navigate the development of their companies.
Today MTech is recognised as one of the leading VC firms in insurtech globally with a team of professionals in London and Santa Monica.
Akur8 is transforming insurance pricing with explainable AI. Their SaaS solution allows actuaries to build more predictive risk models and reduce loss ratios in a transparent and compliant manner.
Initial investment: 2020 (Early Stage)
HQ: Paris, France
“Through relevant introductions, practical sales support, candid back-channel feedback, timely market intelligence, senior executive relationship building, and industry-informed thought partnership MTech has exhibited why having a vertically-focused venture capital firm is so important to entrepreneurs in the insurance space.”
What Our Founders Say
“Brian, Nick, and the entire MTech team have been great partners. They are very accessible and supportive, and they provide constructive criticism when needed. They are a useful sounding board outside of our management team and offer a fresh perspective on the challenges we are facing. I highly recommend founders work with them.”
What Our Strategic Investors Say
“… As a Strategy Team we draw value from having regular access to top-flight VC and insurance experts who are ‘plugged in’ to the InsurTech sector and this informs us as we discharge our responsibilities as a Strategy Function holistically… they have helped us with our long-term strategic plan with the Board… they have advised on direct investment opportunities… they have reset our expectations of ‘what good looks like’ from a tech perspective… and they have introduced us to multiple startups we were interested in …”
What Our Founders Say
“MTech has added the most value per time-spent of any of our investors. Kevin has one of the most active and thoughtful voices in our board room. His perspective and insight has been very helpful in getting our shareholders, many of whom are pure tech investors, to understand some of the nuances of insurance value-creation. Having MTech associated with Corvus has been helpful in conversations with insurance industry participants because their name carries sway in the industry.”
What Our Founders Say
“What sets apart MTech is certainly their deep industry knowledge combined with highly relevant, real-world business experience. They are the type of investor you reach out to when you are making a critical business decision because you truly value their input, not because it is an obligation to ask. They are supportive and trust their founders.”
What Our Strategic Investors Say
“… Our collaboration with MTech goes beyond financial returns and we view them as a critical strategic partner… MTech supports us in the market screening and partnership scouting phase of our strategic initiatives… we have partnered or considered partnering with startups MTech has introduced… we have organized ‘inspiration sessions’ on key trends for our internal stakeholders … The strategic priorities of our Strategic Transformation Office were selected with help from MTech’s insights …”
What Our Founders Say
“MTech has been an incredible partner for INSHUR. Many investors show up with money, but where MTech sets itself apart is their intimate knowledge of the insurance landscape and deep expert network. Every startup goes through ups and downs, it’s important to have thought partners by your side who will pick up the phone at any time and take a deep dive with you on what you are facing as a founder.”
What Our Founders Say
“MTech has been a key part of Napo’s success and growth, especially through their unparalleled support and significant contribution from the very early days. The team has always been accessible, responsive, and on call for anything we need. Their domain expertise in insurance is top-notch and has enabled us to navigate complex challenges with confidence. We have found long-term partners committed to our mutual success.”
What Our Strategic Investors Say
“… Just a few examples of collaboration with MTech include partnerships with portfolio companies Akur8 and Cybercube… deep dive insights on innovation and potential partnership opportunities in commercial insurance and P&C claims automation… and introductions to five potential direct / co-investment opportunities …”
