Latú Seguros is a Brazil-based InsurTech company founded in 2022 that provides technology-powered business insurance to Latin American companies.[1][3] It offers products like professional indemnity, cyber insurance, corporate travel, tech errors and omissions, SME packages, and directors and officers coverage, with features such as dynamic cyber protection for current and future risks and frictionless monitoring integrated into business systems.[1] Targeting SMEs and tech firms, it solves the problem of outdated, paper-based insurance by delivering innovative, locally attuned policies that act as "lifetime risk-mitigating partnerships" for fast-paced, hyper-connected businesses.[1] The company raised $6.7 million in pre-seed funding in 2022, led by CRV and Monashees with participation from ONEVC, Latitude, SVAngel, and angels from Rappi and addi, fueling product expansion and hires in cyber and engineering.[1]
Latú Seguros was founded in 2022 by Paola Neira, who envisioned blending insurance's "safety net" with technology to modernize legacy policies.[1][3] Neira highlighted the opportunity in Brazil's booming FinTech scene, where businesses demand tech innovation, insurance expertise, and local knowledge over traditional paper processes.[1] Early traction came swiftly with a $6.7 million pre-seed round shortly after launch, backed by top LatAm VCs and angels, enabling core underwriting tech development and team growth amid Brazil's strong FinTech funding year.[1]
Latú Seguros rides the InsurTech wave in Latin America, particularly Brazil's FinTech surge, where companies like Klavi raised significant rounds amid rising demand for digital risk management.[1] Timing aligns with hyper-connected businesses facing evolving cyber threats and regulatory shifts, making tech-driven insurance essential for SME scaling.[1] Market forces like FinTech funding booms and legacy insurer inefficiencies favor its hybrid approach, positioning it to boost the startup ecosystem by enabling safer growth for tech firms.[1][2]
Latú Seguros is primed to expand its product suite and engineering team, capitalizing on LatAm's digital economy growth.[1] Trends like AI-enhanced risk assessment and embedded insurance will shape its path, potentially amplifying influence as cyber threats proliferate. Its early funding and founder vision suggest evolving from niche player to regional InsurTech leader, fortifying LatAm businesses as "bullet-proof rockets."[1][2]
