Theo Duchen and David McDonald founded Acturis with the goal of driving inefficiencies out of the insurance sector by focusing on technology and process innovation. Leveraging their backgrounds in the insurance and ecommerce practices at McKinsey, the founders successfully bootstrapped Acturis to become the leading SaaS-based insurance technology provider in Europe. The founders sought an experienced partner to help internationalize the business.
