A BIT ABOUT FLOCK

At Flock we do insurance very differently. We’re nearing 1 billion connected, insured miles.
Meaning our real-time, data-driven approach enables us to price connected vehicle insurance and assess risk better than ever before, giving fleet owners the insights they need to improve safety. We don’t just pay claims; we help our customers prevent them. We now insure hundreds of fleets in the UK, including the likes of JLR and Amazon, as well as fleets that work for DPD, Uber and Bolt.
We’ve now raised over £50M and our goal is to become the leading insurance company for connected and autonomous vehicles, and we’re building a world-class team to help us get there.
