Overview
Lami is a Kenyan insurtech that operates a digital insurance platform designed to broaden access to affordable insurance across Africa. Founded in 2018 by Jihan Abass, Lami addresses the stark underinsurance of the African continent, where fewer than 3% of the population (excluding South Africa) has insurance coverage. Lami's B2B2C platform enables partners such as banks, e-commerce platforms, fintechs, and SACCOs to distribute relevant insurance products to their customers through embedded insurance and digital tools for agents and brokers.
