Hiro

Status: Extended

Jan 18th 2021 - Jan 22nd 2021

Hiro is an insurance technology company aiming to be a contender in the $6.9 trillion insurance industry. The company claims that conventional home insurance does nothing until the damage is already done. Hiro aims to change this scenario. It gives users access to smart technology to protect their property and rewards them accordingly by giving discounts on their insurance quote. The company has signed partnerships with 30+ leading device manufacturers towards this objective for example, Honeywell Home, Philips, and Lightwave, to name few. Hiro asserts that its platform, mobile apps, feature sets, and designs have been validated through an intensive insider's programme. Hiro is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The company has featured in publications like Forbes, the Guardian and the Evening Standard. Hiro will use the investment to develop Research and Development (R&D), furnish legal and compliance documents, and boost marketing and operations.
