About Open

Say hello to insurance that works wonders. At Open, we’re on a mission to provide the best insurance experiences, at the best price, for the world. Insurance is one of the world’s least digitally mature industries - for years it’s remained confusing, paper-based and heavily intermediated.

Our promise to customers is powerful car, home and travel insurance. Many know us through our consumer brand, Huddle, we also deliver insurance through white label partnerships that are digital end-to-end, from quote to claim, with experiences that can be embedded by partners in minutes. By winning major partnerships with category leaders such as Bupa, Telstra, Polestar and ahm, we’ve proven this model in Australia and New Zealand.

But the best is yet to come – we plan on doubling growth again while expanding to theUK. We also believe in using business as a force for good – Open is Australasia’s only certified B Corp insurance company and as a partner of 1% for the Planet, we donate at least 1% of our revenue every year to charity.

Open is backed by leading investors, including AirTree Ventures, Movac, LocalGlobe UK and Hollard Insurance and we’ve raised over $53m to date. Since 2018, we’ve achieved a 628% growth rate and have won awards from FinTech Australia, the Global InsurTech100, Mozo.com.au, Pause Fest, SmartCompany’s Smart50 (5th) and the AFR Fast 100,who recognised us as Australia’s 7th fastest growing company in 2022.
