The story

Founded in 2011 as a group-buying pet insurance platform — aggregating members to negotiate better rates with insurers — ManyPets evolved into a direct pet insurance provider, underwriting its own policies in the UK, US, and Sweden. The company moved from pure marketplace/commission model to also carrying insurance risk directly, and invested in digital infrastructure including a Vet Portal for claims submission. Its embedded finance stack is focused on subscription payment collection (GoCardless, Stripe) and global AP automation (Tipalti, Bound for FX hedging).
