AddressAbout Open
At Open, we’re on a mission to provide the best insurance experiences. Insurance is one of the world’s least digitally mature industries - for years it’s remained confusing, paper-based and heavily intermediated. We launched in 2016 to build a global, AI-powered platform that digitises the entire insurance process, making it transparent, less costly and more reliable.
Businesses of all sizes embed Open’s car, home and travel insurance into their digital experiences. Our consumer (B2C) brand is Huddle and we also offer bespoke white-label solutions for fast-growing digital platforms (B2B2C). We work with many of Australia and New Zealand’s largest brands and leading tech companies such as Bupa, ahm, Telstra and Polestar.
Today, we’re a diverse team of ~150 and thrive on solving problems to revolutionise the world of insurance. We’re proud to count Airtree Ventures, Movac, LocalGlobe UK and Hollard Insurance as investors, and have raised over $53m to date. Open is growing fast - Since 2018, we’ve achieved a 628% growth rate and have won awards from FinTech Australia, the Global InsurTech 100, Mozo.com.au, Pause Fest, SmartCompany’s Smart50 (5th) and the AFR Fast 100, who recognised us as Australia’s 7th fastest growing company in 2022.
We also believe in using business as a force for good. As a certified B Corporation, we abide by the highest social and environmental standards
