Voice of FinTech®

Meeri Savolainen, the CEO, and co-founder of INZMO, Berlin-headquartered InsurTech, spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about creative solutions for tenants being asked to pay a rental deposit and house contents insurance which is not only easy when a client is being onboarded, but also when they make a claim.

Here is what they covered:

• Meeri's background - why become an entrepreneur in InsurTech?
• Inzmo and a previous foray into insurance with Bike ID – why pivot?
• What is INZMO, and what problems are you solving?
• Why is there much demand for InsurTechs’solutions – i.e., why are traditional insurance offerings losing traction with millennials /gen Z?
• Who are your key clients? Many companies these days talk about customer centricity. What does it mean for you?
• Where are you based? How does the Berlin startup scene compare to that of Tallinn?
• How do you make money? What is your business model?
• 2022 has been a tough year, and many countries face a cost-of-living crisis. Why rental deposit alternatives are needed, and where do you fit in?
• It’s unfortunately still evident that even in 2022, we have a gender funding gap, and there is a gender imbalance worldwide. How has it shaped the way you run your startup?
• What are plans for your business going forward, scaling ambitions?
