Insurance today is scattered across emails, portals, PDFs, credit-card benefits, and embedded products. This fragmentation makes it extremely difficult for brokers to access structured information and deliver timely guidance to their clients.
The ICT startup Humbrela solves this by building a unified intelligence layer that consolidates all policies and warranties, automatically extracts key protections, and transforms complex clauses into simple, operational insights professionals can use.
Because insurance involves risk, money, and emotion, people continue to rely on a human advisor. And at a time when generic AI models like ChatGPT show only 52% accuracy on insurance-specific content, the industry needs tools built specifically for its complexity, not generic chatbots.
The company has already onboarded its first brokers in Switzerland and France and initiated strong discussions with wholesale brokers and MGAs across Europe. With over €100B generated annually from brokerage activity, the opportunity to modernize the industry is significant, and Humbrela aims to become the intelligence layer powering this transformation.
The CHF 150,000 from Venture Kick will be used to improve Humbrela’s AI models for policy understanding and risk-gap detection, expand integrations with insurers, warranty providers, and TPAs, strengthen compliance across EU, Swiss, and UK markets, and support the company’s expansion with brokers, wholesale brokers, and MGAs.
Humbrela is led by a strong founding team combining Semchs Zaidi (CEO), bringing 20 years of sales and customer-experience expertise; Simon Mazas (CTO), with 20 years of insurance software engineering; Mathieu Chabasse (CPO), with 15 years of product and UX leadership; and Sarah El Abshihy (Legal Counsel), contributing deep EU/CH/UK regulatory expertise.
“Venture Kick played an essential role in helping us validate our solution in the field and move fast. They gave us structure, clarity, and focus at each stage. They were the first to support us, and that made a real difference,” highlighted CEO Semchs Zaidi.
