wefox Group, a Berlin, Germany-based insurtech company, raised $125m in Series B funding.
The round was led by Mubadala Investment Company through Mubadala’s newly created European Ventures Fund, with participation from new investor Creditease.
The company intends to use the funds:
– to expand into the European broker market,
– to launch into the Asian market following a partnership with SBI (formerly SoftBank Investment),
