Insurtech startup Peachy has raised £1.5m in a funding round in support of its app-based platform that provides quick access to private health services.Founded in 2021, Peachy’s all-in-one platform lets customers access private health coverage, find local specialists, and have digital access to GPs via phone and video chat. Customers can build custom health plans and make claims through the Peachy app.“My former career as a surgeon in the NHS and subsequent time as an executive in and around the private healthcare industry gave me all the experience, insight and exposure to see and know what works and what doesn’t,” said Peachy founder and CEO Amit Patel.“The Peachy team has done a stunning job in delivering a modern integrated digital health solution, a radically better way for health insurance to work for a wider population,” said Damien Marmion, Peachy investor and ex-chief executive at Axa Global Health and former CEO of Bupa Insurance.Congratulations team Peachy!
