Startup of the Week - Digital Risks

by Startacus Admin
As we all know, when you’re starting a business, getting advice and support from people who truly “get” your idea is an absolute must. For traditional businesses, that can be pretty straightforward, however if your startup is a digital one, that is unfortunately not always the case.
Our latest Startup of the Week is on a mission to change all that - in one area in particular – insurance.
Digital Risks is an #InsurTech startup which is the “first insurance provider to focus 100% on the needs of digital businesses”.
As they are a growing digital business themselves, they’re much better placed to understand the needs of others in the same boat.
They can provide cover for everything – from portable equipment insurance to cover the laptop which is actually your office, through to professional indemnity insurance when you secure your first client.
They also fully appreciate how a startup’s needs can change as it scales and also how in the digital sector, there are new risks and threats emerging all the time. They are there to ensure that your digital business is covered – both right now and for things down the line.
The result of this?
You can concentrate on the other stuff which matters – namely growing and scaling your business.
What’s not to love about that…
