About the Company

Akur8 is a fast-growing InsurTech scale-up on a mission to redefine insurance pricing and reserving through transparent, high-performance modeling technology.
With the launch of Akur8 Life, we are bringing that same mission to the Life Insurance market, delivering purpose-built solutions for the unique complexity of life, health, and protection risk.
Our SaaS platform uses transparent machine learning and predictive analytics to improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of actuarial pricing and reserving, addressing the long-term liability horizons, mortality and morbidity modelling challenges, and evolving regulatory expectations that define the Life Insurance landscape.
Built by experienced actuarial, product, and R&D teams, Akur8's proprietary algorithms enable insurers to generate insights up to 10x faster than traditional methods, while maintaining full explainability and the regulatory confidence that frameworks such as Solvency II and IFRS 17 demand.
As our platform expands into Life Insurance, we provide next-generation reserving and pricing capabilities, supporting an end-to-end approach to risk assessment across the full product lifecycle, from term and whole life to annuities and health covers.
Recognized globally, Akur8 has been featured in: CB Insights' Insurtech 50 - Top 50 InsurTech Companies 2025, CNBC's World Top 150 InsurTech Companies, InsurTech100 Global - 100 Most Innovative Insurtech Companies, Professional Equality Index (2025 score of 97/100).
With 40+ nationalities across 8 global offices, including our headquarters in Paris, we serve 320+ insurance clients on 4 continents, partnering with insurers in mature and highly regulated markets.
