RISK

What RISK does

RISK Groep B.V. is a Dutch insurtech platform founded in 2000, headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, operating from approximately three offices (Utrecht, Amsterdam, Zwolle) with roughly 150 employees. The company combines three regulated layers — volmacht (delegated underwriting authority from 20+ insurers), proprietary cloud technology (200+ RESTful APIs across 30+ product categories, AFD 2.0 compliance, PSD2 license from DNB, AFM license 12012535), and multi-channel distribution — into a single integrated offering for Dutch insurance advisors (tussenpersonen), digital comparison platforms, banks (ABN AMRO), and consumer organizations (Consumentenbond). Its core product, the Subliempakket, centralizes insurance, credit, and energy product comparison, policy administration, and CRM integration for advisor workflows.

The business model is a hybrid of (i) three-tier SaaS subscription (WebOffice Start, Grow, Scale priced at €32.50-€122.50 per month excluding VAT), (ii) volmacht underwriting commissions on bound policies (covering auto, home, travel, liability, D&O, cyber, legal expenses), (iii) API and integration fees from enterprise partners embedding insurance, (iv) embedded finance revenue via the Dyme app and affiliated labels (Overstappen.nl, Autoverzekering.nl, EasySwitch.nl, Finckers), and (v) credit intermediation through De Krediet Makelaar (1,500+ advisors, 15+ lenders). Distribution spans owned consumer brands serving millions of annual visitors, white-label and embedded insurance products, and a network of advisors supported by integrated CRM plug-ins (GetMore, Faster Forward, SUPP, Assu, AssuPortal).

In 2025, RISK accelerated its inorganic footprint, completing the acquisition of Dyme (600,000+ users) in September and announcing major volmacht and integration partnerships with Hiscox, Klaverblad, GetMore Systems, and TJIP's MeetingpointAdvies platform, while joining the Verbond van Verzekeraars as an Associate Partner. The company appears to be operating organically without external funding rounds disclosed, growing from commission and subscription economics while expanding its PSD2-enabled recommendation engine via AI/LLM fine-tuning and prompt-engineered automation.

Emerging players

• Lemonade: AI-native digital insurance carrier offering direct-to-consumer policies with mobile-first UX and behavioral AI. Tangentially comparable to RISK as an insurtech using AI for underwriting and customer experience, but Lemonade is a direct carrier, not a distribution platform.
• Tink: European open banking platform (owned by Visa) providing PSD2-based account data connectivity and financial insights. Comparable to RISK's PSD2-licensed financial insights capabilities, but Tink focuses on the data/connectivity layer rather than insurance distribution.
• Bought By Many (Many Pets): UK-founded insurtech using data-driven approach and member communities to distribute specialty insurance. Comparable to RISK as a digital-first insurance intermediary with proprietary technology, though Many Pets specializes in pet insurance as a UK carrier-distributor.

Broad incumbents

• Marsh: Global insurance broker and risk advisor offering placement, claims, and risk management across commercial and specialty lines. Comparable to RISK's brokerage/volmacht model, though at much larger scale and without the consumer-facing comparison labels.

Directly comparable to RISK as a tech-enabled insurance distribution and underwriting platform with API-first architecture and partner integrations.
