SPOKK Insurance
Digital-native pet insurance carrier pioneering accident coverage for pets and virtual gaming avatars through AI-powered mobile technology.
Overview
SPOKK Insurance is a digital pet insurance carrier founded in 2018 and headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut. The company offers accident-only pet insurance through a fully mobile-first platform, targeting digital natives aged 18-25 across the United States. SPOKK uses AI and facial recognition technology to create unique digital pet profiles, enabling near-instant claims decisions and direct debit card reimbursements.
The company has been progressively expanding its regulatory approvals across U.S. states, with active operations in approximately half the states as of late 2025. SPOKK distinguishes itself by combining traditional pet accident insurance with first-to-market virtual gaming coverage -- becoming one of the first insurers to offer protection for gaming avatars, digital skins, and virtual world assets when it launched metaverse insurance products in 2022.
SPOKK received seed funding through the Polish-Ukrainian Startup Bridge and follow-on support from a consortium of early-stage investors including Seeds of Bravery, Geek Ventures, SID Venture Partners, Ukrainian Startup Fund, Village Capital, and Hype Venture.
