Investment thesis
Markd invests in insurtech innovators who strengthen and evolve the insurance industry rather than disrupt it. The firm targets three themes: use of data and AI for better, more mutual outcomes; distribution platforms that modernize how insurance reaches customers; and companies serving untapped markets where solutions are most needed. Markd positions itself as a long-term partner offering perspective, access, and networks of insurers, distributors, and operators. It supports founders from first check onward, aligning on vision, strategy, and execution, and helping refine product, brand, and go-to-market approaches while remaining close through both growth and difficult phases.
