About the Company

Ki is a glimpse into the future of risk, redefining what good looks like. It exists to delight brokers and clients. It does this by taking the friction and cost out of placing risk at Lloyd’s of London, by allowing brokers access to an instant underwriting decision, anytime, every time, from anywhere.

Ki uses a proprietary algorithm to underwrite risk, in conjunction with the latest machine learning technology, to make faster, more informed decisions. Built in partnership with Google Cloud and University College London, and backed by Fairfax Financial and Blackstone, Ki redefines the expectations for technology in the market, and harnesses the potential of data. But whilst Ki has a bionic brain, it has a human heart. A wealth of insurance knowledge, expertise and assistance is only a click away.

Risk, simplified.
