Superscript

Superscript, formerly Digital Risks, is an insurance broker and tech platform targeting SMEs and “high-growth” tech firms.

Superscript provides business insurance to companies through a flexible subscription service.

Superscript was founded in 2015 by Cameron Shearer, Annabel Mekelenkamp and Ben Rose. The company is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with an office in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

 

Superscript constitutes two core insurance businesses: an online-only “self-serve” platform that’s available to U.K. customers including SMEs, sole traders and landlords, and an advised broking service called SuperscriptQ that’s available in the U.K. and across the European Economic Area (EEA).

 

Superscript uses “proprietary machine learning technology” to set itself apart, including throughout the acquisition and onboarding process in its self-serve product, which guides would-be customers toward the correct channels.

 

Superscript’s underwriting partners include a slew of well-known names from the insurance world, including AXA, Beazley At Lloyd’s, RSA and MS Amlin. The company serves as the insurance provider for big-name tech brands, including Amazon’s UK business.

 

Superscript is backed by BHL Holdings, The Hartford, Concentric, Base Capital, Government's Future Fund, Beazley, Seedcamp, Nire Capital, London Co-Investment Fund, and others. The company raised £45M ($54M) in a Series B round on Jan 09, 2023. This brings Superscript's total funding to $79.4M to date.
