Who We Are:
Koop Technologies (“Koop”) is an insurtech building preventive business insurance for trailblazing technology companies.  Our team built a powerful toolset that seamlessly encompasses insurance, compliance, and security for small-to-mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in a variety of industries, from manufacturing and professional services to robotics and artificial intelligence.  Finance, operations, legal, compliance, and insurance teams rely on us on a daily basis to protect their customers, assets, technology, and people.  Our value proposition is to enable businesses with powerful risk management features to proactively prevent accidents before they happen and decrease the cost of risk for a wide range of emerging products and technologies.

This decade will mark a technological makeover of the world.  We believe every company will become a technology company in the near future.  With that, businesses will face novel risks such as poor information technology security, complex product liability issues, inadequate human-machine interactions, business interruptions due to technical failures, and a lot more.  Those risks are interconnected and must be addressed with sophisticated yet easy-to-use risk control tools.  Our vision is to protect the world from a new generation of risks and become a category-defining company that will power millions of enterprises around the world with a risk management tool for a secure future. 

We are post-product-market-fit, post-traction, with a clear execution roadmap and strong support from our growing customer base.  Koop is backed by leading investors, including Ubiquity Ventures, AlleyCorp, Fusion Fund, Bee Partners, and Hyundai and Kia.  Currently, we are growing our product, engineering, and distribution teams to reach product development and production milestones over the next 24 months.  We value a strong work ethic, meritocracy, the ability to think from the first principles, creative problem-solving, excellent communication skills, and technical mindsets.
