Fuse Insurtech Announces the Closing of Series B Funding

Fuse insurtech today (09/8) announced the closing of its series B funding with an undisclosed amount. The round was led by GGV Capital with the participation of previous investors, including East Ventures Growth, SMDV, Golden Gate Ventures, Heyokha Brothers, Emtek, and some undisclosed investors.

The fresh funds will be focused on developing its digital platform and continuing the expansion to other countries in Southeast Asia, outside of Indonesia and Vietnam. Previously, Fuse has secured series A funding in late 2019, led by EV Growth.

This insurtech platform was founded in 2017 by Andy Yeung and Ivan Sunandar. The company claimed to be a pioneer application that focuses on the agent-base model. This is considered relevant to Indonesia, as 97% of the population is still underinsured due to lack of confidence in the current insurance system.

Using the approach, the company is said to record Gross Written Premium (GWP) exceeding $50 million or equivalent to Rp720 billion in 2020 and is confident enough to claim as the largest insurtech platform in Indonesia [by transaction].

Fuse has partnered with 30 insurance companies, offering more than 300 products, including through employee benefit programs and integrated e-commerce sites.

"We always focused on product innovation and will continue to invest in developing platforms that make insurance accessible and affordable to everyone in Southeast Asia. A total of 7 insurance companies have chosen Fuse to be their strategic insurtech partner in Indonesia," the CEO, Andy Yeung said.
