__Berlin, 18.01.2022.__ Cyber insurance company Baobab raises a $4.2 million pre-seed financing round led by Project A Ventures to protect organizations from existing and emerging cyber threats. Additional investors include La Famiglia, Discovery Ventures and several angel investors such Christopher Oster and Marco Adelt (Clark), Michael Riegel (Comtravo), Hanno Fichtner (Gabi), Emilios Markou and Alexis Pantazis (Hellas Direct), Philippe Mota and Jan Beckers (Bit Capital & Ioniq) as well as Martin Kissinger (Lendable).

Baobab aims at making small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) more resilient against cyber risks by combining cyber insurance and security measures to offer holistic risk management. The demand for cyber insurance is growing. Attackers have automated vulnerability discovery and are increasingly targeting SMEs which are rarely insured against cyber threats such as ransomware, DDOS and data breaches.

Baobab insures companies against damages caused by cyberattacks such as business interruptions, liabilities and service costs. On top of that, Baobab reduces risks by assessing potential threats, providing attack surface management as well as continuous monitoring and vulnerability checks to protect customers from further exposure to hacks. 

__Sam Cash__, Principal at Project A, says: “The cyber insurance market is at a unique inflection point, with demand for coverage exploding and incumbents retrenching given the complexities of pricing. We’re happy to be partnering with Vincenz and Anton, who are seasoned insurtech operators. Baobab has a unique approach in Europe which specifically targets the needs of SMEs who increasingly become targets of cyberattacks.”

__Berlin, 14.01.2022.__ Project A leads the seed funding round for personal travel assistant Origin. Based in Amsterdam, Origin is a membership travel company that creates completely individual, personalized trips. Origin uses the knowledge of human travel experts and then powers their trip curation with machine learning in one app.

Origin has raised over $5 million in funding from Project A, Cavalry Ventures and notable angels like David Rosenthal (cohost of Acquired), Brad Klingeberg (CAO of Daily Harvest and previously StitchFix), John Johnson (cofounder of Buzzfeed).

"While travel booking has been digitized at the expense of traditional travel agencies years ago, the process of booking complicated trips like a safari has remained burdensome for travelers. At the same time mobile-first millennials and GenX are becoming the driving force behind the growing premium travel market," says __Mey Cezairli__, Investment Manager at Project A. "We believe that by blending human touch with the latest machine learning technology, Origin has the potential to create a scalable premium travel assistant for highly personalized trips that is making travel much more special and convenient."
