Insurtech Gateway, a specialist insurtech incubator, has received authorisation to trade within the specialist Lloyd’s market, the world’s oldest insurance and reinsurance marketplace.

Historically, securing underwriting capacity has been a major hurdle for new MGAs. Even with strong teams and compelling business models, startups often struggle to gain insurer backing.
With its newly granted Lloyd’s Broker status, Insurtech Gateway can now take its portfolio companies directly into the Lloyd’s market, helping founders secure the capacity they need to get into the market quickly and pilot their ideas with confidence.
Richard Chattock, CEO at Insurtech Gateway, said, “We have worked closely with Lloyd’s underwriters for years, so it’s exciting to formalise that relationship. It creates an even clearer path for us to bring bold new ideas into the London Market — and helps our founders start trading faster than ever before.”
Insurtech Gateway provides Pre-Seed and Seed investment, insurance product design support, a fast-track to FCA regulation, with Appointed Representative status available within weeks, and access to a deep network of re/insurers – and now, the seamless full reach of the Lloyd’s market.
“At Gateway, we back founders tackling the world’s biggest problems – climate resilience, financial inclusion, and health security – through the lens of insurance,” added Richard Chattock. “By giving these startups the capacity, compliance, and capital they need, we are helping them close protection gaps and accelerate positive change.”
