SCOR Ventures is the venture investment arm of SCOR Reinsurance, responsible for both investing in and creating partnerships with startups across the insurtech landscape. Since 2017 we have built a global portfolio across three theses: (1) investing in tech-driven underwriting companies (MGAs, carriers) and distributors, (2) software solutions that benefit SCOR and/or our clients, and (3) companies that help people live healthier lives. Our investment scope includes both investments and commercial (re)insurance relationships with startups. We predominantly invest at late Seed / Series A and are interested in a broad range of B2B and B2B2C solutions across MedTech, wellness, wearables, data platforms, and software / AI platforms. What we’re looking for We invest across three thesis areas: Thesis 1: we invest and partner in the ‘Insurers of the Future’: tech-driven underwriting companies (MGAs, carriers) that offer multiple points of digital and business model differentiation across P&C and L&H. We provide direct access to SCOR expertise and our global network to help portfolio companies scale and/or access (re)insurance capacity. With a proven track record of supporting innovative underwriting propositions across multiple lines of business, we understand product development, program structuring, underwriting, pricing and distribution and thus have the capabilities to optimise partnerships between insurtechs and business partners. We predominantly invest at late Seed / Series A. We are class of business agnostic and have partnered with companies across a broad variety of personal and specialty lines. Thesis 2: we invest and partner in software solutions that benefit SCOR and/or our clients. We provide a broad understanding of the interests and pain points of insurers across the world, and the potential to connect companies with insurers through SCOR’s client services initiatives. We predominantly invest later stage vs. Thesis 1 (typically Series A-B) but have occasional appetite for Seed. We prioritise companies: developing data, tools, and methods for obtaining, understanding, pricing and transferring large portfolios of pre-aggregated risks, high-value individual risks such as energy facilities and construction mega-projects, and MGA/coverholder business delivering economically valuable additional services offering a visible outcome which can be used to boost client management or reduce risks. Focus areas include front-end (e.g., underwriting & pricing) policy administration, modelling, risk analytics, and claims developing platforms where insurance has not previously been embedded / distributed, but where SCOR Ventures sees substantial opportunities to close the global protection gap – e.g., marketplaces, “super apps”, b2b fintech, employee benefits working to solve climate and ESG challenges to support the net zero transition and cut emissions for SCOR and SCOR clients. Focus areas include ESG reporting, climate risk analysis and data, carbon offsetting as a solution, circular economy, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) tech, and supply chain transparency. We also see several opportunities in the green insurance product space including solar production or maintenance guarantees, wind input parametric products, solar physical asset damage, cat-bond / ILS and insuring carbon credit projects. Thesis 3: We invest at the intersection of health and technology and partner with companies that help people live healthier lives, deliver in-force or claims outcome improvements, develop new business or add to SCOR’s Knowledge Center capabilities, and assist our clients to transform their offerings. We predominantly invest at late Seed / Series A and are interested in a broad range of B2B and B2B2C solutions across MedTech, wellness, wearables, data platforms, and software / AI platforms. How we operateIntegrated in the wider SCOR business: Direct access to the entirety of SCOR’s capabilities brings unique added value to our portfolio companies. SCOR’s core business has experts in nearly every country, line of business, and functional area, while SCOR Partners bring a broad range of client services, marketing and product development expertise. Mandate: focused on key markets in North America, EMEA and LATAM, with selective deployment in APAC and Africa. Stage and ownership: We invest Seed to Series B. We typically seek greater than 5% ownership at first investment, which may include a board seat (we have led or co-led half of our investments to date). Our investment is intended to make SCOR a meaningful contributor but leave founders room to manage their cap table. We look for a long-term investment and / or commercial relationship but do not seek a fast exit or to ultimately acquire portfolio companies. Partnership approach: we are active supporters of the companies we work with, assisting with technical input, recruitment, capital optimisation and more. The material growth of many insurtech MGAs and carriers has led to increasing demand for (re)insurance capacity; SCOR is a transparent, long-term partner. Insurtechs in SaaS and services segments, meanwhile, have benefited from SCOR’s long-standing client relationships, while SCOR benefits from bringing knowledge, links, and expertise regarding services with genuine value to our clients. We bring value to our portfolio companies by connecting them with other partner companies, as well as with founders and distribution leads in our network. Why partner with SCOR VenturesWe believe in fewer, deeper relationships over the long term. We are flexible and collaborative in our approach, tailoring a solution to your specific needs, in partnership with other insurers, reinsurers, and investors involved in your company as appropriate. We underwrite most major lines of business and geographies globally. We have a global network including insurance licenses but not a competing retail insurance arm. Insurers are our clients, so working with us does not limit your options to associate with insurers. In selected circumstances, we can offer access to Lloyd’s or SCOR’s insurance licenses in the U.S., Europe, Asia, Brazil, South Africa, and other markets. We look to move quickly with direct access to decision makers, whilst leveraging resources and expertise to ensure our partners can build relationships with the appropriate parts of our organization.

If you have the ambition to lead your category or create a new one, and your product solves critical business issues with signs of real market potential, then we can support your journey. Deep SaaS and Cloud expertise. There’s never been a better time to invest in European SaaS and Cloud. We’re open to investment opportunities of any category, but we specialise in these areas: Cloud Computing The future won't be powered on technologies of the past – and it certainly won't be on-premise. The cloud is more widely used and continues to grow its capability and penetrate deeper layers of the enterprise. Computing Cloud companies provide enabling technologies and help their customers harness opportunities in front of them, often hidden in dense data and fragmented systems scattered across digital and physical locations. They’re often developer-first and product-led.

We are open to challenge, and challenge openly, fueled by a belief in a diversity of views and a desire to learn.

We don’t just invest in companies - we invest in people, in relationships and in the overall eco-system for the benefit of all.

A multinational investment company with an elite track record. BM Prime Capital is headquartered in New York City and Lomé. The firm leverages investment expertise and first mover advantage to provide early-stage funding to startups in Francophone Africa. Simultaneously, in the United States, our firm specializes in the creation, development, and marketing of high-growth startups for acquisition. THE THESIS We believe the most underserved yet highest growth-potential region in the world is Francophone Africa. With a populace of approximately 450 million people, the Francophone Africa region represents 30% of the total African population. Yet, it receives less than 2% of venture funding in Africa. We are capitalizing on this asymmetry as the first mover at the pre-seed level, primed to capture tremendous value for our investors. Our firm is laser focused on key aspects of digital infrastructure: EdTech, FinTech, HealthTech, and InsurTech. Our venture studio's philosophy is simple yet powerful: Great business teams create great companies. We recruit, train, and retain exceptional talent to fuel our culture of Intrapreneurship. We are serial builders and investors, working together to launch and scale startups, while backing top founders. This hybrid approach confers tremendous value-add for our investors and the entrepreneurs we invest in. With built-in diversification and organizational expertise, we excel at both funding startups and creating them from scratch. THE MISSION We are built to identify opportunities that virtually everyone misses. We aim to identify and invest in unicorns at the earliest possible stage (the pre-seed level). Leveraging favorable currency exchange rates and our experience injecting minimal targeted capital, the Fund will invest in 100+ startups; this volume is 4-5x greater than typical venture funds. Statistically, we have a dramatic advantage with increased chances our bets will reach billion-dollar valuations. Our firm pursues staggering profits, and we believe this is compatible with social good. We're focused on digital infrastructure because it is the global equalizer. By investing in emerging markets, not only do we have opportunities for massive profits, we also enable the most talented entrepreneurs to stay in their respective countries and grow their economies- resulting in a win for all stakeholders.
