Sales - Netherlands
đ Who are we?
Launched in 2021, Orus is one of Europeâs fastest-growing insurtechs, on a mission to simplify professional insurance for small businesses.
Professional insurance today is complex, opaque, and inefficient. At Orus, we believe it should be simple, fast, transparent, and human.
Backed by over âŹ41M in funding, including a âŹ25M Series B in June, Orus is supported by leading European entrepreneurs, insurance executives, and top-tier funds such as Peec and Sodaâs fund. Already serving more than 50,000 customers, Orus is rapidly expanding across Europe. The Netherlands is the largest European market following the domestic launch of Europe.
