CEO & Co-founder, SureIn

Daniel Dierkes is CEO of SureIn.

Daniel Dierkes is CEO and co-founder of SureIn, an insurance operating system and marketplace built to give small and medium-sized businesses efficient, genuinely independent cover, pairing expert advice with a platform that centralises contracts, claims and documents. He founded it on a straightforward observation: business insurance for small companies had stayed stubbornly analogue — broker-mediated, paperwork-heavy, and sold to owners with no time to decode it. Before SureIn he worked in software engineering and product roles across fintech and digital services, giving him the technical grounding to build the platform, and spent time in investment and business development with the Axel Springer Plug and Play Accelerator, sitting on the other side of the table from founders.
