iCover, a US-based insurtech that offers algorithmic underwriting platform as a service (PaaS), has raised an undisclosed sum in its seed funding round.

iCover plans to use the latest fund infusion to launch a direct-to-consumer offering to expand insurance distribution, hire technical staff and focus on sales and marketing.

Concurrently, iCover announced a multi-year partnership with a community-focused life insurance company, KSKJ Life.

The partnership will allow iCover to onboard life insurer’s offerings to digitise their new business operations.

KSKJ Life, which is licensed to operate in 19 states of the US, offers insurance solutions such as final expanse, term life, whole life, and annuities.

iCover algorithmic underwriting platform is cloud-based that enables the insurer to sell to the middle market.
