Funding Strengthens InsurTech Expansion
PolicyStreet, the Malaysian InsurTech startup, just raised $21 million in its Series C funding. Cool Japan Fund led the round, and Altara Ventures along with Gobi Partners—who’ve backed them before—joined in. With this fresh investment, PolicyStreet’s total funding tops $100 million. Now they’ve got another sovereign wealth fund on board, after Khazanah backed them last year in their Series B.
The new funding is going to power PolicyStreet’s push across Asia. They’re planning to make their embedded insurance platform even better, put more money into tech, and strengthen partnerships with companies in mobility, travel, logistics, telecom, and the gig economy.
CEO Yen Ming Lee sounded pretty upbeat. He said, “With Cool Japan Fund joining this round, PolicyStreet has the backing of two sovereign wealth funds now. That not only shows people believe in what we’re doing, but it also proves InsurTech has real staying power in Asia.”
Lee sees this as a big vote of confidence for embedded insurance in the region’s growing digital economy. The company pointed out that their platform generated over $1 million in profit in FY2025, putting them on the list of profitable InsurTech players in Asia.
Customer Growth And Market Reach
Since 2023, PolicyStreet has doubled the number of customers served through its platform. Its customer base grew from five million to more than ten million. Over the same period, the total sum insured increased from $6 billion to over $10 billion.
PolicyStreet’s embedded insurance model integrates coverage into transactions and services. Users may hold micro-insurance or transaction-linked policies, reflecting frequency and context rather than single large premiums. Some policies, such as coverage for gig workers on partner platforms, can provide up to $25,000 per policy.
The platform’s growth demonstrates the increasing adoption of embedded insurance in Asia. By offering seamless insurance solutions, PolicyStreet reduces friction for digital commerce and supports partner platforms with scalable risk management.
Strategic Partnerships And Institutional Support
The Series C round confirms institutional confidence in PolicyStreet. Cool Japan Fund’s participation aligns with its mission to expand Japanese products and services overseas.
Kenichi Kawasaki, President, CEO, and COO of Cool Japan Fund, said, “PolicyStreet builds a sense of security and assurance through its embedded insurance model. This could become a foundation for safe and confident expansion of online commerce and digital services.”
The investment creates synergy. PolicyStreet gains capital, institutional backing, and access to Japanese commercial networks. Cool Japan Fund supports cross-border market expansion. Together, they aim to enhance consumer trust in digital transactions across Asia.
Altara Ventures and Gobi Partners, who already back the company, doubled down on their support. They pointed to PolicyStreet’s steady growth, sharp execution, and proven profitability as their reasons for jumping in again. Meanwhile, PolicyStreet is still talking with more potential investors as it moves forward with its Series C raise.
Profitability And Operational Milestones

PolicyStreet pulled in over $1 million in profit for FY2025 and grew its net revenue by 2.5 times compared to last year. That’s a big jump, and it shows the company is moving past all the hype about fast growth. Now, it’s really about getting things done the right way.
Instead of chasing quick margins, PolicyStreet has built a business that lasts — it’s stable, but it can grow fast when it needs to. Not many InsurTech companies in Southeast Asia can say they’re both profitable and operating at this scale. PolicyStreet actually pulls it off.
The company’s tech makes it easy and fast to bring on new customers and partners. Plus, its embedded insurance works across all sorts of industries, which keeps it relevant in different digital ecosystem. PolicyStreet’s focus on running things well and delivering real value is what helps it stand out even when competition gets tough.

Expansion Strategy And Regional Impact
PolicyStreet plans to use the capital to enhance its technology platform. This includes improving policy management, automating claims processes, and integrating analytics to monitor risk.
The company’s focused on expanding across Asia and Australia. They’re ramping up their platform and teaming up with partners in mobility, travel, logistics, and telecom — all to make a bigger impact in these markets. By integrating insurance right at the moment people make a purchase, adoption picks up, since it’s just easier for customers to get covered.
The company aims to extend the benefits of embedded insurance to new sectors. This will support regional digital commerce and platform growth. By embedding coverage, PolicyStreet enhances user confidence and enables safer transactions.
PolicyStreet’s approach highlights the evolution of InsurTech in Asia. The combination of profitability, disciplined growth, and embedded infrastructure sets a benchmark for peers. The model offers both investors and partners tangible returns and operational value.
