Coalition is the world's first Active Insurance provider that combines comprehensive insurance coverage with integrated cybersecurity tools to help prevent and mitigate digital risk. Its cyber risk management platform, Coalition Control®, provides automated cyber alerts, expert advice, and global third‑party risk management tools. Coalition offers Active Insurance products in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Germany and leverages relationships with leading global insurers and capacity providers, including Coalition Insurance Company. The company recently announced a $30 million equity investment from Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co., Ltd. (MSI), part of MS&AD Insurance Group. That funding anchors an expanded strategic partnership intended to bring Active Insurance to more businesses worldwide and to allow MSI to participate as a shareholder in additional markets. Coalition is pursuing scaling of its Active Insurance model and deepening collaborations on cybersecurity solutions for small and midsize businesses, particularly in Japan and Australia.
- Meanwhile
Participated · Seed · Jun 2023
Meanwhile operates as the world’s first fully Bitcoin-denominated life insurer, regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Its core products package traditional life insurance, annuities and savings vehicles with Bitcoin, positioning BTC as a long-term store of value for policyholders. The company serves both retail families and institutional partners that want to launch compliant, bitcoin-linked savings, retirement and corporate treasury products. Meanwhile generates yield by conservatively lending Bitcoin and providing private credit, making it one of the largest long-duration BTC lenders with terms over six months. Demand has driven the firm’s Bitcoin assets under management to grow more than 200%. Future plans center on expanding global distribution through established insurers and other institutional channels while continuing to build “long-duration” financial building blocks for the broader Bitcoin economy. To date, the company has raised $122 million in 2025 to fund these initiatives.
