The story
Pottencial started in 2010 as a specialist Brazilian surety-bond (Seguro Garantia) carrier and has stayed close to that vertical rather than pivoting into general P&C. The insurtech positioning is built around exposing insurance as APIs (quoting, proposal, policy issuance, billing, debt recovery, AI document analysis) to brokers and B2B partners. The 2020 R$275M XP Asset investment underwrote a broader product line (Aluguel, Máquinas e Equipamentos, Riscos de Engenharia) while keeping surety at the core.
