Getsafe guides people toward smart life choices and protects them when the unexpected happens. The idea started with a simple belief: insurance should feel simple, fair, and always accessible. Today, it powers one of the most highly rated and frequently used insurance apps, where AI agents and automation replace manual processes and complexity - enabling customers to manage claims, coverage, and personalized advice in seconds.
Since launching in Germany in 2018, we have grown into one of Europe’s most well-funded insurtechs, serving more than 500,000 customers. Headquartered in Heidelberg with an additional office in Berlin, our team of 150+ people builds and operates digital insurance products at scale.
In 2021, we received our insurance license from Germany’s financial regulator, BaFin, and today operate as a full-stack MGA. With more than €120 million raised to date, we continue to build a new standard for insurance: fully digital, AI-driven, and designed around real life.
