- Hello, we're Laka You might not have heard of us yet - that's OK, you've found us now - come and find out more about our journey... Founded in 2017, Laka set out to transform insurance by connecting passionate cyclists to form a collective and protect their bikes for when things go wrong - a better model for insurance was born. For once people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other. We exist to rewrite the rules of insurance so it’s something people stand with, not against. Our model: Laka makes sure everything runs smoothly for The Collective - from exceptionally fast claims, splitting the cost fairly, guaranteeing a maximum price and all the other heavy lifting of a regulated insurance business. For that service, the collective pays Laka a fee relative to the claims in a month. Take a closer look at exactly what this means and how it works here. What have we been up to since then...? In a nutshell, we've been very busy! Here are a few of the massive achievements we've had: Raised an awesome Series A investment round of over $20m Grown the team to over 60 Lakanauts, based across the UK and NL, enabling a choice-based, remote-first way of working Launched Laka in multiple European countries, essentially helping more people in more places!
