Mama Insurance, an Italian insurtech startup, has attracted a new funding round spearheaded by Fastweb+Vodafone alongside Founders Factory. This investment, following an earlier commitment in 2025, brings the company's cumulative capital to over €2 million, combining equity stakes, non-dilutive public grants, and bank financing. The funding package includes equity participation from Fastweb+Vodafone, Founders Factory and Vento, alongside support from national and regional public programmes and debt facilities.
The fresh capital will enable Mama Insurance to broaden its reach past its current home insurance offering into additional personal insurance categories and tailored solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises. The round also deepens the company's partnership with Fastweb+Vodafone, concentrating on research and development, artificial intelligence systems and enhanced digital engagement with customers.
Mama Insurance operates an AI-driven digital insurance platform designed to streamline the insurance purchasing journey for consumers. The startup began with home insurance, targeting Italy's significant protection gap—more than half of Italian households lack home coverage despite exposure to hazards such as fire, flooding and theft.
The platform leverages automation and artificial intelligence to tailor each customer's experience, enabling quote generation and policy purchases entirely through its digital interface. Customers can complete the entire transaction in fewer than two minutes, with all documentation presented in straightforward Italian. Chubb, a major global insurance provider, handles the underwriting function.
Distribution channels for Mama Insurance's offerings span its proprietary digital channel, a partner network of agents and brokers, and embedded integrations with consumer-facing brands. The company is simultaneously developing AI-powered distribution systems intended to reshape how customers encounter and buy insurance.
Home insurance is where we start, but our ambition is to build the platform that protects Italians across every dimension of life and business: from the home to pets, from the family to health, all the way to the use of AI in their own business
Leonida Fini Zarri, founder and CEO of Mama Insurance
Looking ahead, Mama Insurance intends to leverage the new capital to diversify into additional personal insurance segments and launch offerings tailored to the Italian SME sector. The company's strategic vision encompasses delivering modular, digitally-native insurance products addressing a comprehensive spectrum of personal and commercial requirements, partnering with multiple underwriters across different insurance categories.
