Virtual insurers
Hong Kong has four licensed virtual insurers now. Bowtie and OneDegree both clearly lead the pack.
Funds want real members and a clear loss ratio. A neat app with no real scale will rarely raise.
Show your real member growth and your claims data. Keep it all in one single clean virtual data room.
Read up on data room compliance rules early on. Ellty logs exactly who opened each file and when.
Insurance SaaS and infrastructure
HK also builds insurance SaaS for the whole region. CoverGo and Coherent both grew up in Hong Kong.
Funds want real clients and recurring revenue. A demo with no signed contracts will not raise.
Show your contracts and your real renewal rates. Lock down sensitive files with password protection.
Weak data control loses these insurtech VCs fast. Ellty shows who read your numbers and exactly when.
Health and crypto insurance
Health cover and crypto insurance both grow here. Bowtie leads on health, OneDegree leads on crypto.
Funds want a clear niche and proven real demand. A plain me-too product will rarely raise a round.
Show your niche traction and your real margins. Get your whole fundraising process tight early.
Avoid the usual fundraising data room mistakes early. Ellty tracks who reads each file you send.
