The digitisation of legacy industries shows no signs of slowing and nor does the enthusiasm of VCs for startups doing just that. Knip, the Swiss ‘mobile-first’ digital insurance broker, has closed a $15.7 million Series B round led by U.S.-based Route 66 Ventures. Germany’s Creathor Ventures and U.S.-based QED Investors co-led the round, while existing investors Orange Growth Capital and Redalpine Capital also participated. The company is talking up the Series B as the largest fintech investment in Switzerland to date.
