Notes to Editors:

Wrisk is an Insurtech venture that was founded in early 2016 by Nigel Barton and Darius Kumana (bios available upon request).

Wrisk will deliver Insurance direct through smart phones, not through the postbox. Insurance centred around people, not just their things. The company will offer a highly flexible service that provides Motor, Travel and Home cover all in one place.
The benefit of connecting direct to customers through an app, is that it's possible to improve the efficiency, accuracy and transparency of insurance. Thus, reducing costs and making customers' lives easier.

NB: At the time of this release, Wrisk is currently participating at the BMW Innovation Lab, a programme managed by L.Marks.

Digital Partners has been set up in order to partner with digital insurance startups and digital verticals that are changing the way consumers interact with insurers. In addition to providing its global footprint and experience to its startup partners, it is helping them develop innovative product and distribution solution.
