“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%.

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.
