Hepster cooperates with Insurly

The insurance start-up from Rostock wants to establish its bicycle insurance on the French market as well. A comparison platform is now to help with this.

The insurtech Hepster was only launched in France in May. Now the start-up is already entering into a strategic partnership with the French comparison portal Insurly. The comparison portal awards Hepster's bicycle insurance policies as price-performance winners. The criteria for this award are transparently presented on the portal.

Hanna Bachmann, Christian Range and Alexander Hornung founded the Rostock-based start-up in 2016. The founders want to enable companies in all industries to integrate individual insurance policies into their offerings. The insurtech's portfolio includes mobility, electronics, equipment, travel, pet and accident insurance. By its own account, the company has over 2,000 partners and more than 150,000 customers. Now the start-up wants to establish itself in France as well as Germany and Austria.

In addition to Insurly, further strategic partnerships and new insurance services in the neighboring country are already planned for the future, he said. "For example, we are in talks to bring e-scooter insurance to the French market as well," says Fabian Pöhnert of Hepster.
