About AXIS Digital Ventures
At AXIS Digital Ventures (ADV) we believe the insurance industry is undergoing nothing short of a technology-fueled transformation. Insurance is a $5tn industry — a critical part of the modern economy and society – and ADV seeks to couple AXIS Capital’s deep expertise in specialty insurance and global reinsurance with best-in-class technology companies and founders looking to participate in building the future of insurance, even at the earliest stage when a company is still just an entrepreneur’s idea.
Since 2018, ADV creates strategic partnerships with emerging technology companies and best-in-class entrepreneurs and management teams across industries, as well as executes venture capital investments that advance AXIS’ digital initiatives and growth areas globally.
Entrepreneurs seek out ADV for our deep understanding of the complex, nuanced insurance industry, our belief that technology will become further embedded in all parts of the insurance value chain, and our ability to assess feasibility and opportunities in InsurTech, even if the company is at its nascency or currently not operating in the insurance space.
