Send us a text
Miguel Armaza sits down with Alexis Pantazis Co-Founder of Hellas Direct, a full-stack InsurTech with operations in Greece, Cyprus and Romania. Launched in Athens a decade ago, Hellas Direct now generates over $150 million in annual revenue.
The company has raised $56 million of equity and debt from Portag3, Third Point, the World Bank, Endeavor Catalyst, amongst other great investors.
We discuss:
- A masterclass of what they’ve learned from launching new products and countries over the last decade
- Their strategy of going after ‘Blindspot Markets’ to increase market dominance and reduce competition
- Dealing with fraud with data and underwriting
- Why it’s so important to modernize the insurance industry… and a lot more!
