Habit

Embedded and contextual insurance distribution platform for non-insurance brands

Distribution & Sales Growth Series A

Overview

Habit is an embedded insurance distribution platform for non-insurance brands, financial institutions, and insurers in Europe and Latin America. The company operates in the P&C space, enabling retailers, telecoms, banks, and mobility providers to integrate and offer insurance products through their existing customer journeys.

The platform delivers modular, end-to-end distribution capabilities as a SaaS and API-first solution. Partners can configure products, set pricing and underwriting rules, manage policy lifecycles, automate claims, and access real-time analytics without requiring deep insurance expertise. Habit operates independently of specific insurers or products, giving distribution partners flexibility in carrier relationships.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lisbon, Habit has built a customer base of 15+ partners across retail, financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare sectors, including NOS (Portugal telecom), Auchan (retail), and Claro Pay (Brazil). The company raised USD 5.39M in a Series A round in November 2022 from Bright Pixel Capital, SixThirty, and BiG Start Ventures, and was recognized as a top 25 startup in Portugal in the 2023 Scaleup Portugal Report.
