Gangkhar secures $4.25m to power AI-native protection platform

Gangkhar, an AI-native embedded protection infrastructure platform, has closed a $4.25m seed round led by Anthemis to accelerate its global expansion.

Accion Ventures, Sancor Ventures, Seedstars, EWA Capital, and Simma Capital also participated in the round, alongside early-stage backer Rally Cap, which supported the company at the pre-seed stage.

The capital will be used to accelerate product development, deepen AI-driven optimisation capabilities, and support continued international growth.

Gangkhar enables capacity providers and digital platforms to configure, deploy, and optimise embedded protection products across regions.

Its AI-enabled optimisation engine draws on real-time programme data to improve segmentation, pricing, and messaging. Via a single API, partners can scale embedded protection offerings across multiple markets through its Sherpa+ infrastructure, which covers onboarding, pricing, underwriting, and claims.

Gangkhar chief executive officer Federico Spagnoli said, “This seed round brings together exactly the type of partners we wanted to build with.

“From global fintech expertise to emerging-market scale and carrier-side insight, this investor group strengthens our ability to execute at scale.”

Anthemis partner Marin Cauvas said, “Gangkhar is building foundational infrastructure for the future of embedded and AI-native protection.

“Their platform addresses a critical gap in how protection products are designed, distributed, and optimized globally. We’re excited to support the team as they scale across markets and deepen partnerships with carriers and distributors.”
