Flock is a UK startup that insures car fleets using realtime data. Ed Leon Klinger and Antton Pena were working on two academic research papers when they came up with the idea of only insuring drones when they were in flight. This resulted in the formation of Flock, which raised $17 million in a Series A round in 2021. Zego has so far raised $281.7 million to fund something similar, but Flock appears to be in Zegos rearview mirror. Octopus Ventures and CommerzVentures led the $38 million Series B funding round, with existing investors including Social Capital, Dig Ventures, Anthemis, and Foresight Ventures. Flock now serves over 600 commercial fleet clients, including Jaguar Land Rover, Europes electric car subscription service.
