Thinksurance

Overview
Thinksurance is a Frankfurt am Main B2B insurtech whose platform digitalises advice, tendering and placement in commercial and industrial insurance. The operating entity is Thinksurance GmbH, register Frankfurt am Main HRB 100759. Founded in 2015, it went to market as Gewerbeversicherung24, a broking portal for small businesses, before repositioning as a platform sold to distributors.

Why this entity matters
Commercial insurance is one of the largest and least digitalised parts of German financial services, and it is intermediated: the broker, not the insurer, owns the customer relationship. Thinksurance is a clear DACH example of an insurtech that stopped competing with intermediaries and started selling to them - a pivot that recurs across European B2B fintech.

Company history and product
Launched in 2015 as Gewerbeversicherung24, a portal for businesses seeking cover, the company concluded the technology behind the advice was worth more than the broking business itself. Public sources name Florian Brokamp and Christopher Leifeld as co-founders; Brokamp was chief executive through the 2019 and 2023 funding announcements, while the company's English site now lists Dr Timm Weitzel. One secondary source dates that handover to July 2024; it rests on a single source and is not treated as confirmed. The platform covers needs analysis, risk capture, tendering, quote comparison and policy issuance, split on the current site into an Advisory Suite and a Data Suite. In October 2019 Thinksurance raised EUR 13 million in a Series B from Eight Roads Ventures. In June 2023 it raised EUR 22 million led by Viewpoint Ventures and M-Tech Capital, with Segenia Capital joining and Eight Roads and Columbia Lake Partners participating; one outlet reported the round as USD 24 million.

Role in the DACH startup and technology ecosystem
Thinksurance is a Rhine-Main company in a region defined by financial-services concentration, and one of the few German insurtechs with a B2B rather than a consumer franchise. Its position rests on a structural feature of the market: commercial cover is sold through a long tail of independent brokers and pools that cannot each build software. It sits in the same Startuprad.io insurtech cluster as https://www.startuprad.io/entities/clark and https://www.startuprad.io/entities/wefox , which are consumer-facing; no commercial relationship is asserted.

Startuprad.io relevance
Thinksurance is a Rhine-Main reference entity in the Startuprad.io fintech graph. Five posts carry the tag: the Thinksurance founder interview, the 2019 Greater Rhine-Main venture funding review, and three founder interviews with other companies where the tag appears to have been applied in error. That anomaly is recorded, not silently corrected.

Public source context
The two funding events are the best-corroborated facts here: the October 2019 Series B is reported independently by EU-Startups, FinSMEs and ITIJ, the June 2023 round by fintech.global, Insurtech Insights and InsurTech Digital. Everything describing scale is company-reported: broker and agent counts, customers analysed, headcount and growth capital come from company or investor statements, none independently audited. No confirmed international market entry outside the German-speaking region could be corroborated from two independent sources.
