Orus Secures €25 Million to Expand Digital Insurance for SMBs Across Europe

Lim Qiaoyun
Orus, a Paris insurtech, offers personalized insurance for independent workers and SMBs. They have reason to celebrate… They just announced a successful €25 million Series B funding round! The funding will support Orus’s international development, starting with Spain. It will introduce a new broker platform focused on modernizing the SMB insurance distribution.
Startup Orus, founded in 2021 by Côme Dartiguenave, the CEO, Tom Le Bras, the COO, and Samuel Rossille, the CTO. Their mission is to create a faster, easier, seamless insurance experience for small businesses. The company offers a wide range of personal and commercial online insurance products. Their available products include general liability, business owners’ policies, decennial liability insurance, and health insurance.
Orus separates itself from the pack with its seamless onboarding experience, taking less than five minutes to set up. This enhanced efficiency, along with transparency and uniquely tailored insurance solutions, has led to the company’s rapid growth. Since its Series A financing, Orus has grown its revenue 10 times over in just a year and a half.
The firm now insures more than 30,000 SMEs across Europe and gains more than 2,500 new European clients each month. Operating with a small team of multi-disciplinary 70 employees, Orus has seen a very positive start, outdoing early traction in Spain compared to France.
"The SMB insurance sector is still dominated by legacy players offering opaque products, slow onboarding, poor customer service, and cumbersome claims processing. Orus leverages technology to provide simple, and transparent insurance solutions tailored precisely to the needs of small businesses." - Côme Dartiguenave
Orus’s platform is made to deliver easy and transparent insurance solutions custom-fit to the exact needs of small businesses. The company's new broker platform aims to further modernize the SMB insurance distribution model, making it easier for brokers to offer Orus's products to their clients.
"Orus is not just building a great product, they are defining a new category in commercial insurance. It is the first digital platform we have seen that truly serves the full breadth of the SME landscape, from independent professionals to construction crews to retail shops or chains, with a solution that is both comprehensive and intuitive, with a quote ready in 3 minutes online." - Henri Tilloy
