Background

Daloopa is a Series B fintech backed by Morgan Stanley and Touring Capital that provides AI-powered financial data for institutional investors. As Daloopa expanded its platform and onboarded leading global clients, the company faced increasing demands around risk management, regulatory compliance, and insurance coverage. With a lean team focused on product and client delivery, Daloopa needed a robust, scalable approach to insurance—one that matched their pace of innovation.

The Challenge

As Daloopa scaled, their leadership encountered several key challenges:

  • Managing Complexity: Handling the growing volume of insurance requirements for directors & officers (D&O), cyber liability, E&O, and general liability—all while expanding into new markets.

  • Efficiency & Focus: Avoiding the time sink of collecting documents, comparing policies, and coordinating with multiple brokers.

  • Compliance & Oversight: Meeting the rigorous insurance expectations of institutional investors and board members, while ensuring seamless renewals with no risk of lapses.

  • Cost Optimization: Securing the right balance between comprehensive coverage and cost efficiency in a rapidly evolving fintech landscape.

Our core mission is building transformative financial technology—not getting sidetracked by insurance paperwork. We needed a solution that could keep up with our growth and protect our business.
