Hypoport SE: closer collaboration between the Hypoport Group and the start-up ecosystem in Germany, Austria and Switzerland - Seite 2

The first success has already been achieved with a recently formed strategic partnership with Swiss insurtech start-up Helvengo AG, which includes an equity investment and provides a number of opportunities for collaboration within the Hypoport Group. Helvengo specialises in tailored, needs-based insurance policies for small and medium-sized enterprises. The founders intend to expand into Germany and Austria this year. Helvengo is being built up by Vedran Pranjic, Benedikt Andreas and Felix Huemer. All three are former employees of wefox, an insurtech company in Berlin.
