SCOR Ventures

SCOR Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of SCOR, the French global reinsurer, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Paris with a globally distributed team of approximately six spanning London, New York, Chicago, Charlotte, and Singapore. The fund operates with a 130 million euro mandate and invests from seed through Series B, targeting 7.5 to 12.5 percent ownership at first check. Managing Partner Will Thorne (London) leads the team with SVP Kendall Crocker (New York) and a wider investment bench. The firm leads or co-leads roughly half of its deals. SCOR Ventures organises its thesis around three pillars: tech-driven underwriters and distributors (managing general agents and digital carriers), software solutions benefiting SCOR and its cedents, and companies helping people live healthier lives. Adjacent targets include fintech, digital health, climate technology, cybersecurity, financial operations software, industrial software, and employee benefits — sectors where SCOR's global risk network provides a meaningful distribution and validation edge. Geographic coverage spans North America, EMEA, and Latin America. Across 25 portfolio companies, named investments include Marshmallow (UK insurtech MGA), Protex AI (workplace safety computer vision), Kontempo (Latin America B2B buy-now-pay-later and trade finance), Novisto (ESG reporting software, invested May 2025), and Cartan Trade (trade-credit insurance, Series A in October 2025). SCOR's strategic value to portfolio companies goes beyond capital: the parent reinsurer's relationships with primary insurers, cedents, and risk carriers across more than 160 countries create natural commercial pathways for companies building in insurance-adjacent and risk-management technology verticals.
