Hakuna receives four million euros

With insurance solutions for e-commerce and retail, the start-up was able to convince investors such as one of the Klarna founders.

Insurtech Hakuna has raised four million euros in its seed funding round. The round is led by Earlybird, with participation from Visionaries Club and Discovery Ventures. Klarna founder Victor Jacobsson, SumUp founder Marc Christ and other business angels are also investing in the company.

Hakuna offers insurance products for e-commerce and retail. The company was founded by Sebastian Jost (ex-CCO Sumup), Orhan Köroglu (ex-Managing Director Abracar) and Rupert Mayer (ex-Head of Product at Abracar). "We are very proud to offer online retailers of all sizes and industries access to the right insurance products that were previously only available to the top one percent," says co-founder Köroglu. The startup has been able to secure Watchmaster, Sushi Bikes and Office Partner, among others, as insurance partners. With the new funding, Hakuna plans to expand its dealer network and further develop its insurance products.

"We are confident that Hakuna's team, with its B2B insurtech background, a passion for product protection and high level of professionalism, will enable retailers of all sizes and industries to offer an AppleCare-like user experience," says Christian Nagel, partner and co-founder of Earlybird.
