Cuvva in the news:

  • Financial Times: Ten fintech start-ups that are causing a stir in insurance
  • TechCrunch: Cuvva raises £15M Series A to launch flexible monthly car insurance
  • The Telegraph: Pay-as-you-go car insurance - how British drivers could save thousands every year
  • Forbes: 30 under 30 Europe, Freddy McNamara

Problem


According to an update shared with Crowdfund Insider, millions of Brits hold driving licenses but lack “access to a car.”

A large barrier to cars lies in the “rigid” nature and upfront cost of annual car insurance, combined with continuously rising costs of running a car.

Cuvva was born to “break down major car sharing barriers.”

Solution


Cuvva is building the world’s most flexible and fair car coverage, making it effortless to share cars and insure your own.

The Company is building a community of car owners and sharers. By making cars multiplayer, the Company makes getting around easier—and it’s good for the planet too.

                               

Product


Cuvva's proprietary app helps give everyone affordable access to a car anytime, anywhere. Using in-house technology, Cuvva provides customers with superior products and services.

Business model


Monetization strategy

Cuvva earns revenue on each policy they sell and they intend to build additional revenue for each add-on that customers will be able to include. Subscription provides a recurring source of revenue.

Subscription

  • Cuvva's newest product - designed to completely disrupt the
    mainstream insurance market - is based off the question, "car ownership isn’t annual, so why should your insurance be?" 
  • This option provides more flexibility and you don’t pay more for paying monthly. It’s arguably a better way to get insured.

Use of proceeds


Customer Growth: 

  • Cuvva intends to scale rapidly through new distribution channels including partnerships, plus broader content and social initiatives to expand their reach.  
  • Invest further in digital and direct channels that perform at a highly predictable, competitive customer acquisition cost. 
  • Further investment in building Cuvva’s brand into a household name, including above the line marketing.

Product / UX:  

  • Extend their addressable audience and enhance margins by adding features and add-ons extending the relevance of Cuvva. 
  • Relentlessly optimise their customer experience, making it easier than ever to find and buy the right insurance. 
  • Focus on bringing down the cost of car ownership.
  • Scale technical platform to support rapid growth of products.
