Zurich Acquires Dental Insurance Startup dentolo

Zurich Germany has acquired Berlin-based dentolo to help its D2C brand DA Direkt expand to dental supplement insurance.

With the acquisition of dentolo, DA Direkt has access to a network of 500 dentists throughout Germany. In addition, DA Direkt will offer insurance solutions and services in cooperation with dentolo, such as comprehensive advisory functions, direct appointment scheduling and billing.

“As part of the strategy of the Zurich Group Germany, our goal is to develop the DA Direkt brand more as an independent brand for customers who want to control their insurance needs largely on their own and online. With the acquisition of dentolo, we are strengthening DA Direkt in its expansion into the high-potential segment of supplementary health insurance.” – Carsten Schildknecht, CEO of Zurich Group Germany.

Established in 2015,  Dentolo offered a comparison platform for dental treatment and later expanded to offer dental insurance.
