About us

It takes a village (and a bit of courage and hustle) to build something from the ground up in the insurance industry.

We strive for a balanced world, consciously creating technology to ensure that our implicit biases are not built into the machine learning models that we build. The way to do this is through diversity of thought.

As creators of new technologies, we have a huge responsibility towards future generations. We stand to create equity in our society, challenge the status quo, and stand up for those that don't have a voice.

We are pioneers, and we stand for what we believe in, a fairer system built on real peoples needs. We dream big, work hard, achieve the impossible and we have a lot of fun along the way.

We are powering the passion economy

We started Coverhero after having a number of terrible insurance experiences. Our vision is to transform and build the kind of insurance that is relevant to our generation and simple to understand.

When we started designing products, we asked ourselves a number of questions. If we could start insurance from scratch today, how would we do it? What would we create? What does the customer experience look like and what would the product look like? We challenge the status quo.

Hustlecover is a Pioneer in the market and a brand of Coverhero. We know the future of work is self-employment.

The product comes in two variants: Gigster for part- time gig workers and Hustle Pro for full-time gig workers

2018 Like many disruptive Startups, Coverhero was born from personal life experience.

In 2017, someone very close to Naby Maryiam, our Founder, became suddenly unwell. During that time, Naby had to lodge multiple insurance claims, all of which got rejected and, she ended up losing out on over $10,000. Mad at the insurance industry, it got her thinking about fixing the problem of why insurance is so complex and difficult.

Naby was self employed at the time, had recently lost her job, and was facing a lot of financial uncertainty. So in 2018, with her friend and colleague Hyacinth Hamon by her side, she started Coverhero. Soon after, she was given an opportunity to join a Startup Accelerator Program, which gave her the resources and support to test ideas, create some cool (and easy to understand!) products and explore the insurance market. Naby was driven by the idea of making insurance simple, and was determined to give it a shot.

In 2019, Naby was invited to New York to spend time with experts in the Startup sector.

When she returned, Naby met Praveen Jayasuriya at the Sydney Startup Hub, who then became Coverhero’s CTO and with his insane technology knowledge and skills, he helped make Coverhero what it is today.

The same year, we were selected to the Plug and Play insurtech accelerator and spent 6 months in Sunnyvale meeting with top tier insurers and VC’s. We presented on demo day, which was well received, and we formed incredible partnerships and built networks in preparation to launch into the US market.

Naby spoke at the Insurtech Insights New York conference on emerging insurance products and the customer experience of the future.

Team Coverhero was part of the Australian delegation to Insurtech Connect Las Vega global insurtech conference.

Naby also spoke at the Insurtech insights Hong Kong, alongside leading insurtech startups from all around the world. This was a great opportunity to meet global leaders in Fintech.

We launched our wellbeing platform ‘Balance Wheel’ at TEDx Newtown to about 300 participants. This was a great event.

2019

2020 This was the year we launched the Beta version of our product Hustlecover to the Australian market to provide income protection, accident and health insurance for the gig economy and self-employed economy which is expected to be more than 50% of the global workforce by 2023.

During the first Covid lockdown here in Australia, we ran the ‘Walk it off challenge’ campaign to bring awareness to mental health in the entrepreneurial community. We challenged people to walk 10,000 steps a day and had 2000 people participate.

In the midst of lockdown we also launched Hustlechat the podcast and youtube channel speaking to industry leaders and founders who are building amazing companies, challenging the status quo and having deep & meaningful conversations around what matters to us and the future (insert link to podcast)

We were selected into the Plug and play insurtech Singapore Accelerator this was done virtually due to the pandemic. We met with top tier insurers in Asia, presented our tech and built relationships, exploring the opportunity to launch in the Asian market in 2022.

Lucci was launched to work towards the net-zero emissions.

Using 3-D aerial imaging and cloud-based technology, Lucci is also designed to work towards the net-zero emissions Paris Agreement. Every Lucci policy will offset at least 11 tonnes of carbon emissions, making it the first home insurance API to put decarbonisation at the forefront of its policies.

This year, we won the ‘Best Emerging Insurtech’ at the prestigious Insurtech Hartford awards, competing with 100 other startups globally with a cash award of $10,000USD.

We were also nominated as a finalist for the Finnies Awards run by Fintech Australia and Naby was nominated as a finalist for Female Fintech Leader of the Year https://www.thefinnies.org.au/finnies-2021-finalists/

As you can see, we’ve worked hard to create some super-cool tech and built a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and small business owners, but most importantly of all, we’ve achieved our mission of creating an insurance product that is simple, effective and actually protects you when you need it most.
