Job Description
Hello were Laka
You might not have heard of us yet - thats OK youve found us now - come and find out more about our journey...
Founded in 2017 Laka set out to transform insurance by connecting passionate cyclists to form a collective and protect their bikes for when things go wrong - a better model for insurance was born. For once people come first in insurance by fairly sharing the cost amongst each other. We exist to rewrite the rules of insurance so its something people stand with not against.
Our model: Laka makes sure everything runs smoothly for The Collective - from exceptionally fast claims splitting the cost fairly guaranteeing a maximum price and all the other heavy lifting of a regulated insurance business. For that service the collective pays Laka a fee relative to the claims in a month.
Take a closer look at exactly what this means and how it works here.
What have we been up to since then...
In a nutshell weve been very busy! Here are a few of the massive achievements weve had:
Raised an awesome Series B investment round of over $10m
Grown the team to over 60 Lakanauts based across the UK and NL enabling a choice-based remote-first way of working
Launched Laka in a total of 9 countries essentially helping more people in more places!
Captured the UK and NL enthusiast cyclist market and expanded into commercial business partnering
Been awarded Best Cycle Insurance Provider (for the past 7 years in a row - go us! )
Weve also achieved a 5* rating on Google Reviews and Glassdoor - go check us out!
Help us continue to change an outdated industry...
