Specialty Solutions Growth Bootstrapped

Overview

WESMARTi is a B2B2C insurance service platform for carriers, reinsurers, brokers, and distributors operating in the parametric and specialty insurance segments. The company emerged from a multi-stakeholder experiment involving major Italian carriers, brokers, academics, and regulators who piloted parametric policies on blockchain infrastructure.

The platform delivers a digital insurance marketplace based on blockchain and smart contract technology, automating underwriting, policy issuance, and claims processing. Parametric triggers -- executed via Oracles linked to real-world data -- remove manual claims adjudication, enabling straight-through settlement. All transactions are recorded on an immutable ledger, providing full visibility to insurers, reinsurers, regulators, and policyholders.

WESMARTi has deployed its platform in collaboration with Cattolica Insurance and Reale Mutua to serve the Italian agrifood market, providing phytosanitary risk coverage for wine grape supply chains. The company is a member of the Italian Insurtech Association (IIA) and was recognized by Digital Insurance Agenda as one of 100 insurtechs to watch in 2021.
