Justos will use the capital to increase its headcount, expand geographic presence and launch other coverage options.

The insurer will also use the funds to accelerate growth. Initially, Justos plans to start operating its app in the Greater Sao Paulo region and expand across the whole of Brazil.

Founded by Dhaval Chadha, Jorge Soto Moreno and Antonio Molins in 2020, Justos plans to offer insurance solutions based on telematics data such as acceleration, braking, speed and driver’s behaviour.

Notably, Justos is not officially launched yet. In May, the insurer secured $2.8m in seed funding.
