Ep 32 | Building Tomorrow’s Insurer | Automate and Elevate: Skye Theodorou on Redesigning Insurance for SMEs
Q: What was your fundraising experience like, and what advice would you give to first-time fundraisers?
The founders emphasize starting with a venture-backable idea, leveraging warm introductions and referrals, and using SAFEs in early rounds to preserve ESIC eligibility; they stress the importance of investors who provide more than capital, like strategic guidance and a brains trust.
Ep 32 | Building Tomorrow’s Insurer | Automate and Elevate: Skye Theodorou on Redesigning Insurance for SMEs
Q: What was the founding moment from Zurich to UpCover, and how did you decide to take the leap?

Ep 33 | Building Tomorrow’s Insurer | Faster Than the Storm: Lynn Roehrig on Parametric Insurance and Climate Risk
Q: What future developments do you foresee for parametric insurance in the next 5–10 years?
In the near term, continued expansion of data sources and AI-enabled pricing could enable near-instant policy binding from a location, with broader product applications beyond NatCat like cyber, driven by demand for climate resilience and ESG-focused risk management.
Ep 33 | Building Tomorrow’s Insurer | Faster Than the Storm: Lynn Roehrig on Parametric Insurance and Climate Risk
Q: What kinds of data sources do you rely on to trigger parametric claims, and how do you manage the front-end setup with clients?
We use a mix of public and private data, coordinate with data providers and technology partners, and design tailored parameters with clients to ensure the policy responds to their actual exposure; the front-end setup is thorough but aims for a smoother renewal cycle thereafter.
