Insurtech Otonomi Raises $3.4Million To Build A First-to-market Blockchain-powered Parametric Cargo Platform

Lately, hindering inflation, recession risk and global logistics crisis has been all the rage in chatter. Nearly $10 Billion of estimated losses have been caused by supply chain disruption. Yet, the outlook for freight companies and insurers to get themselves out of their current trough remains bleak.

“Otonomi is bringing a new product to market by building complex models to be able to profitably underwrite insurance against delays in shipments of freight. Traditionally, insurance at the point of sale has been focused on damages to goods. However, costly delays often arise across air, maritime, trucking, and last-mile logistics. Otonomi has a great team positioned to bring together aspects of parametric insurance, risk related to supply chain and shipment delays, and highly embeddable distribution”, said Chris Shonk, partner and co-founder at ATX Ventures Partners.

The company is first to market in providing parametric cargo delay insurance (a fast, transparent and automated delay insurance product) that unlocks claims resolution in 45 minutes instead of 45 days, compressing administrative costs by up to 90%.

“[Our platform] is as much of a unique value-add for the end-customers, shippers, logistics, 3PLs and freight forwarders on one hand than it is also a tremendous bottomline saver for the insurance carriers partners on the other hand”, mentions Yann, during an interview at the Nasdaq TradeTalks show last month.

Otonomi’s management tapped into six critical industries to assemble a core team of resolute go-getters in finance, insurance, blockchain, UX design, marketing, and security. The team thrives in bringing value-add to clients and insurers, both sectors screaming for a refresh.
