InsureX was founded in London in 2017. The concept came from Ingemar Svensson, whose company Finserve.io was working with various insurance clients who frequently brought up blockchain and the idea of an alternative marketplace.
Shortly after, InsureX engaged a reinsurance company in London who agreed to further explore how this platform could improve security, administration and cost.
