Orus Secures $29 Million Funding for SMB Insurance Expansion
Paris-based digital insurer Orus has raised 25 million euros (approximately $29 million) in a Series B funding round. The investment will fuel the company’s planned pan-European expansion of its digital insurance platform tailored for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
Initially operating in France, Orus has begun its international expansion with Spain and is considering entering other European markets in 2026. The company’s CEO, Côme Dartiguenave, stated that the SMB insurance sector remains dominated by legacy players offering opaque products, slow onboarding processes, poor customer service, and cumbersome claims processing. Orus aims to change this by leveraging technology to provide simple and transparent insurance solutions precisely tailored to the needs of small businesses.
In addition to its direct-to-business model, Orus is launching a new broker platform. This platform will offer brokers the digital speed and transparency developed by Orus, enabling them to easily quote, customize, and manage the company’s digital-first insurance products. Dartiguenave emphasized that brokers are a cornerstone of the SMB insurance landscape and that the new platform will combine the speed and intelligence of Orus’ technology with brokers’ trusted expertise.
Henri Tilloy, partner at Singular, which led the funding round, praised Orus for defining a new category in commercial insurance. He noted that Orus is the first digital platform seen that truly serves the full breadth of the SMB landscape, offering comprehensive and intuitive solutions with quotes ready in just three minutes online.
This Series B funding round comes about 20 months after Orus’ October 2023 Series A funding round, where it raised 11 million euros to expand its insurance product offerings. The recent investment underscores the growing interest in digital insurance solutions tailored for SMBs, as well as Orus’ potential to lead in this space.
