Allianz X

About

Like our portfolio companies, Allianz X has grown and evolved over time.

From a handful of people dedicated to accelerating early-stage start-ups to the mature, strategic, corporate venture capital fund dedicated to late-stage investments in proven digital growth companies it is today.

Allianz X is the digital investments arm of Allianz Group, one of the world’s largest insurance and asset management companies. Our relationship to the Group shapes our strategy by focusing it on insurtech and fintech scale-ups that not only have great growth potential, but also complementary business models to Allianz companies.

Our people are what make Allianz X successful. We have a top team of talented, passionate colleagues who know our industries inside out.

We are a diverse group of people and stronger for it: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Those network effects that we experience in our team extend to our view on business.

  • We connect, facilitate, collaborate and leverage.
  • We join the dots to create win-win scenarios for our partners and portfolio.
  • We build platforms and make the most of technology.
