What MTech Capital does

MTech Capital is a venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments in insurtech and fintech. Founded in 2018-2019 by Brian McLoughlin (formerly a fintech investor at Upfront Ventures) and Kevin McLoughlin (formerly Global Head of Insurance Investment Banking at BofA Merrill Lynch and Citigroup), the firm operates from offices in Santa Monica, California and London, United Kingdom, with stated coverage extending into continental Europe and select additional markets. MTech's investment thesis is explicitly AI-centric, targeting applications of artificial intelligence that transform customer experience or improve employee productivity within insurance and financial services.

The firm invests globally with a primary focus on North America and Europe, typically at the early stage while remaining flexible for the right opportunity. MTech maintains board-level engagement with portfolio companies and positions itself as a strategic partner rather than purely a capital provider. The portfolio spans insurance pricing (Akur8), cyber risk analytics (CyberCube), commercial insurance exchange (Bold Penguin), cyber insurance MGA (Corvus), tech-enabled personal lines (Openly), financial planning (Timeline), and enterprise no-code software (Unqork), with more recent bets on AI-native platforms including Qumis (commercial insurance coverage analysis), Curvestone AI (regulated industry automation), Pasito (group benefits), and Voxel AI (workplace safety).

MTech Capital Management LLC generates returns through equity investments in early-stage insurtech and fintech companies. The firm raised its initial fund capital in 2018-2019 from strategic investors including some of the world's largest insurers, brokers, and asset managers, who serve as both limited partners and commercial counterparts for portfolio companies. Revenue is derived from conventional VC mechanics — management fees and carried interest on exits — though specific AUM, fee structures, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held with a lean team of 1-10 employees.

Direct peers

• Anthemis: Anthemis is a venture capital firm specifically focused on investments in financial services and insurtech, making it a direct competitor for insurtech founders and strategic LP relationships. Both firms pursue a similar thesis of digitizing financial services through early-stage venture investing.

• QED Investors: QED Investors is a leading fintech-focused VC that has increasingly invested in insurtech adjacencies such as embedded insurance and digital distribution. It competes with MTech for fintech/insurtech founders, though QED operates at a much larger fund scale.

Broad incumbents

• Munich Re Ventures: Munich Re Ventures is the corporate venture arm of Munich Re, one of the world's largest reinsurers, and invests broadly across insurtech and adjacent technologies. As a much larger and longer-tenured insurance CVC, it competes with MTech for strategic insurtech partnerships but typically deploys significantly more capital per deal.
• Allianz X: Allianz X is the digital investment arm of Allianz Group, investing globally in insurtech, asset management technology and adjacent digital ecosystems. It is a broader incumbent competitor with substantially greater capital and balance-sheet support than MTech.

Others

• Hudson Structured Capital Management: Hudson Structured Capital Management is a specialist insurance-linked asset manager that co-invests in insurtech and cyber risk businesses alongside strategic players like MTech. It is comparable as an investor ecosystem participant but operates a different asset class focus.
