Barcelona-based Weecover, a specialist in integrating insurance solutions into online purchasing processes, has secured €4.2M in funding to support its growth and international expansion plans.

The round was led by Swanlaab Venture Factory and existing investor Nauta. Investors including La Roca Capital, Bankinter, Prosegur, Íope Ventures (Telefónica Seguros and Wayra’s investment vehicle), and several previous investors like Astorya VC, also participated in this round.

Simplifying embedded insurance

Founded by Jordi Pages and Rafael Gallardo, Weecover offers APIs and technology solutions to connect insurers with consumer distributors. 

Its Insurance-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform allows retail companies, e-commerce platforms, financial institutions, and digital applications to offer insurance products and services.

The company offers insurance and contracting solutions, along with service and after-sales operations, covering the entire insurance distribution process. It serves as a solution for new insurance distribution channels and optimises existing channels for local and global insurance companies and brokers.

The Spanish startup enables consumer distributors to implement insurance offers and contracting proposals for retail, banking, and finance businesses within weeks, aligning processes with distributors’ operations. Its platform incorporates generative AI to enhance customer service and reduce costs.

Currently, Weecover operates with major retail and financial distributors in Spain, including PcComponentes, FNAC, Decathlon, seQura, and insurance companies such as Mapfre, Línea Directa, and Lagunaro. It is also active in Portugal, France, Andorra, and Mexico. 

By the end of 2024, the company’s platform processed over 100,000 insurance contracts annually.

Capital utilisation

Weecover, with 20 employees, plans to expand its team in marketing, sales, and technological development to strengthen its leadership in Spain and expand operations internationally.

Jordi Pagés, CEO of Weecover, says, “Having the backing of funds such as Swanlaab or Nauta allows us not only to accelerate our expansion plans, but also to strengthen our value proposition and continue to offer innovative solutions to our clients. We are excited about the future that lies ahead in the insurance sector.”

“We firmly believe in the promising future of this space within Insurtech and in Weecover’s ability to lead this transformation thanks to its market vision. It is a sector full of opportunities and we are confident that Weecover will play a key role in its development.”

“Furthermore, the team’s in-depth knowledge of the insurance sector, led by Jordi Pagés, is a truly unique asset compared to the competition.”
