Gofido

What Gofido does

Gofido (legal entity Care of Fido AB, org. nr. 559169-4632) is a Stockholm-based digital insurance distributor (försäkringsförmedlare) registered with Finansinspektionen, founded in 2019, operating exclusively in Sweden with a team of 1–10. The company distributes personal lines insurance products — home (rental, bostadsrätt, and villa), car, travel, and life — through a fully self-serve web and mobile platform that authenticates users via BankID, with no physical branches, no binding periods, and no cancellation fees. Its core product differentiator is modular coverage: customers assemble a home insurance policy from individual modules (e.g., bicycle, stroller, golf equipment, watches, all-risk, bostadsrätt add-on) rather than buying a standard over-provisioned package, and a self-selected deductible ranging from 1,500 to 10,000 SEK in 500 SEK increments drives the premium. The platform uses automated pricing, automated risk analysis, automated claims adjudication (eligibility and payout amount without human intervention), and a proactive life-event monitoring loop that pushes coverage adjustment suggestions when customers move, have children, or buy new items.

Gofido does not underwrite risk. Home, motor, and travel policies are placed with Eir Försäkring AB, life insurance is placed with Bliwa Livförsäkring (Gofido takes no commission here, enabling a lower customer price), and professional liability is held with RSG Försäkring. Gofido earns commission on premium volume from Eir (paid monthly in arrears based on the prior month's results), which is the company's primary revenue stream. In 2024, the company opened its insurance infrastructure to external partners as Gofido.Tech, a white-label SaaS/embedded insurance platform — distribution, risk analysis, administration, and branding — generating a second revenue line through platform or per-transaction fees when partners embed Gofido's products in their own customer journeys. Named B2B partners include Wåhlin Fastigheter (rent-bundled tenant insurance, marketed 30–50% below standard home insurance), AutoFlows (car dealer network), and GoCar. The company is founder-led by Stefan, Annika, Claes, and Gertrud — with Annika Saramies identified as CEO and co-founder, and Stefan Mahlstein as co-founder — and the team is described as carrying approximately 100 years of collective insurance industry experience.

Core offering

Gofido distributes modular, individualized home insurance and related personal lines (car, travel, life) to Swedish consumers through a fully digital self-serve platform, and additionally offers Gofido.Tech, a white-label SaaS platform that lets property managers, housing associations, and other businesses embed Gofido insurance into their own customer journeys. The company is a regulated insurance distributor (försäkringsförmedlare) supervised by Finansinspektionen, with home and car insurance underwritten by Eir Försäkring AB and life insurance by Bliwa Livförsäkring.

Product overview

Gofido is an insurance intermediary (försäkringsförmedlare) operating in the Swedish market, distributing personal insurance products primarily through a web platform and mobile app. Its core offering is an 'active' or 'smart' home insurance (Hemförsäkring) that is modular — customers choose which coverage modules to include and pay only for what they need. The product portfolio spans five core personal insurance lines: Hemförsäkring (home insurance for rental apartments, co-ops, and villas), Bilförsäkring (car insurance), Reseförsäkring (travel insurance), Livförsäkring (life insurance), and Hemförsäkring i Hyran (B2B rental insurance for property companies). Optional add-on modules include Bostadsrättstillägg (co-owner add-on), Drulleförsäkring/Allrisk (all-risk), Cykelförsäkring (bicycle), Klockförsäkring (watch), and Resetrubbelförsäkring (travel disruption). Gofido operates on a B2B2C model: its insurance products are underwritten by Eir Försäkring AB (home, car, travel) and Bliwa Livförsäkring (life), while Gofido.Tech serves as a white-label SaaS platform for B2B partners to distribute embedded insurance. The company uses automated pricing and a proactive monitoring system to adjust coverage as customers' life situations change.
