Virado

Cloud platform for insurance brokers to digitally distribute niche P&C products

Distribution & Sales Startup Seed

Overview

Virado (operating as ED Ensure Digital GmbH) is a distribution technology platform for independent insurance brokers in Germany, enabling them to sell niche and specialty P&C insurance products through digital channels. The company was founded in December 2014 by Armin Molla and is headquartered in Cologne, Germany.

The platform provides a browser-based SaaS interface that registered insurance brokers use to embed product offerings into their own websites via widgets, manage customer contracts centrally, and track commissions from niche insurance sales. Brokers access over 250 specialty insurance products -- covering electronics, optical products, cameras, bicycles, musical instruments, travel, household appliances, and used vehicles -- through integrations with 14+ carrier partners including Agila, Barmenia, Hiscox, HanseMerkur, and Wertgarantie.

Virado received seed investment from ERGO Group and InsurTech.vc in 2016. The company is a founding member of InsurLab Germany, an insurtech innovation hub based in Cologne, and has been recognized in The Digital Insurer directory under the Sales and Distribution category.
