From insurance and property management to plastic recycling services, the startups featured in this week’s funding round up are focused on game-changing services to their customers.
Keep reading to find out more about five Aussies startups that collectively raised $163.6 million this week, including a former Smart50 Awards winner!

Cover Genius: $120 million

Former Smart50 Awards winner Cover Genius leads this week’s funding round-up with a huge $120 million (US$80 million) Series E funding round.
While now headquartered in New York, the insurance tech startup was founded in Australia in 2014 by Angus McDonald and Christopher Bayley and was crowned the overall winner of the Smart50 Awards in 2017 with a three-year revenue growth of 2606%.
According to Startup Daily, US-based VC Spark Capital led the latest funding round and included existing investors Dawn Capital, King River Capital and G Squared.
Cover Genius previously raised $112 million (US$70 million) in Series D funding in 2022 and $100 million in Series C funding in 2021.
The company, which initially started out in the travel insurance space before expanding into other areas, reached unicorn status in 2021 and reportedly has some 30 million customers around the world.
It plans to use the new funding to accelerate its growth plans and improve its digital solutions, according to the report. This will include using artificial intelligence for claims handling and offering more insurance products on its platform.

Data Zoo: $35 million

Sydney-based digital ID verification startup Data Zoo has secured $35 million (US$22.7 million) in Series A funding from Ellerston Capital fund, Ellerston JAADE.
Announcing the funding on Wednesday, Data Zoo said capital injection will help it scale its ID verification software, which it says provides efficient access to authoritative data from over 170 countries while also prioritising data protection and privacy by eliminating identity data storage.
The software is used by financial institutions, payment providers and fintechs.
Data Zoo was founded by chair Tony Fitzgibbon in 2011, and is led by recently appointed chief executive Charlie Minutella.
“There’s been a long-standing need for a more efficient and secure way to verify identities,” explained Fitzgibbon in a statement provided to SmartCompany.
“Data Zoo has spent years refining its solution — the result has been incredible innovation, UX optimisation, and growth in a fiercely competitive market, putting us head-to-head with today’s most established identity providers.
“Ellerston JAADE spotted an opportunity in Data Zoo’s proven ability to help global firms verify consumer and business identities, reduce fraud, and meet global compliance standards.”
The Series A round represents Data Zoo’s first outside investment. It now joins a number of other Australian firms in Ellerston JAADE’s portfolio, including Mable, Camms, and Phocas.

Neo-Bionica: $5 million

Also securing funding this week was Melbourne-based Neo-Bionica, which has raised $5 million from Breakthrough Victoria.
Neo-Bionica was founded in 2021 as a joint venture between the Bionics Institute and the University of Melbourne.
The startup specialises in manufacturing and commercialising medtech, working in the fields of engineering, bioelectronics, and neurotechnology to develop advanced medical devices.
Neo-Bionica offers services to other companies, such as medical device prototype development, clinical trials, and initial low-volume manufacturing, and has two workshops at St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne that are used to develop implantable and wearable tech.
The company plans to use the funding to help it expand its manufacturing capability, facilities and market presence, both in Australia and globally.

Asseti: $2.5 million

Sydney-based proptech startup Asseti has secured $2.5 million in seed funding to continue building its AI-powered real estate asset management platform and take on the US market.
The round was led by early-stage VC Tidal, which has previously invested in the likes of Shippit, FrankieOne, and Sonder.
Asseti was founded in 2018 by Aonghus Stevens to help property managers improve the lifetime value of their assets. It does this by using high-quality images and machine learning to predict and prioritise what needs fixing in a property.
The platform, which is reportedly being used by the likes of Mirvac and Colliers, can help manage things like wear and tear of items and potential hazards in buildings.
On its website, the startup said it plans to use the new funding to build out its AI features and expand into the US market from a new base in Dallas, Texas.
This move “follows significant year-on-year growth in Australia and marks an important next step in helping customers to manage the vast and aging real estate landscape of the United States”, the company said.
Asseti now employs a team of more than 30 people and said it has recently welcomed two new key hires: Nima Idel as head of product, and ‍Courtney Cusack as head of growth marketing.
The opportunity for Asseti is vast, said Tidal’s Kieran O’Neill in the VC’s investment notes.
“Every building and structure is a potential asset that Asseti can assess and help manage,” he said.

RecycleSmart: $1.1 million

More than 1000 investors have backed Sydney-based RecycleSmart, with the recycling startup successfully raising $1.15 million via a Birchal equity crowdfunding campaign that closed on Thursday.
Founded in 2019 by Marco Prayer and Giorgio Barracchi, RecycleSmart helps households, businesses and councils dispose of hard-to-recycle items by picking up unwanted waste from a customer’s doorstep.
The startup will pick up soft plastics, clothes, shoes, and small e-waste, and then sort and transfer them to specialist recycling partners like APR Plastics, Mobile Muster, and the Red Cross, which accepts unwanted but wearable clothing.
The startup says it has sent 800,000 kgs of items to be recycled to date but now wants to scale that impact.
This latest fund raise follows a previous $1 million raised by the startup in July 2023, also completed via an equity crowdfunding campaign on Birchal.
In the time since then, RecycleSmart has extended its Power Pickup program to businesses and is now recording more than $2 million in annual recurring revenue.

2024.05.17 11:10 GarethGore 32YO English guy - I know it sounds goofy, but I honestly just love the rush you get when you chat to someone and it just clicks. On Sunday I'll be on a Europe trip and I'm already excited! I'd love to speak to people as I travel! Location's no issue but preferably F & long term maybe though?

TL:DR - I like meeting people and I'm decently interesting I think at least, come say hey? :)
Pretty much title, I'd love to speak to people from all over, if it clicks and becomes long term that would be pretty ideal, I'm genuinely not fussed about where you're from, I think the idea of speaking to people from all corners of the world is just interesting to me. On sunday I fly out, but for now I'm at work then having to pack, I'd love to chat to folks for this week, during the trip and maybe for a long while after too!? :)
As for myself, I think I'm pretty lovely, but I'm fairly biased I'll admit. I work from home in a insurance sales jobs, its fine mostly but I'm semi looking for something else. I've travelled a lot in the last few years to a number of places, Singapore, Palawan and Manila in PH, Jamaica and Canada, then a number of European countries and planning more for 2024 + 2025 hopefully! I was in Bosnia for a few days in March, have a trip to Hamburg + Salzburg later this month and hoping to do Italy + Turkey trips later this year.
I tried my hand at languages (I sucked at Turkish, was decent at German then promptly forgot it, as when I was there I didn't need it), picked up painting and playing the piano and I'm as useless at painting as I ever was, but its fun. I work out, but its mostly to try and lose weight while still having a major sweet tooth and really enjoying a meal out, so losing weight progress is relatively slow going. Beyond that I'm the typical tv/videogames/sports fan honestly.
I'm pretty easy going though if its not working I always like a bit of closure, the disappearing act bothers me, a simple heads up is appreciated but besides that I'm quite laissez-faire. I do prefer speaking to women but it's not a hard rule, I just find guys often get a bit intense online. I do prefer putting a face to people and vice versa as well, if its a dealbreaker I totally get it so thought I'd add that in here too
In terms of where to talk, I do prefer to move to apps, but I'm pretty fine with whatever, staying here is fine too. Include your basic details in your message, the usual about me stuff is fine, don't feel the need to match the rambling essay above! :)

2024.05.17 09:50 dissidente_pt Helping an elbow lesion not lead to giving up riding

Hey guys and gals.
My wife had a non-riding-related accident shortly before COVID pandemics, and broke her elbow. Due to a good deal of medical incompetency and insurance greed (...) she had to get her tacicle (the joint of the elbow) removed. This lead to every day pain in some degree, and she is starting to give up riding because of that.
She had a Kawasaki ER6n when the accident happened, and to minimize vibrations to the arm we replaced it with a Honda NC750X. Worked fine for some time (looking into retrospective with the pandemics and some other factors, she started riding a bit less, so not sure if it actually worked fine 🤔), but the majority of the days she doesn't pick up her bike due to increasing discomfort and pain upon arrival to work (and back). Traveling is completely off the table for quite a while now... (which sucks... we used to to at least one 'big' family motorcycle trip per year with our daughter; better than having a pillion wife is to have a biker wife... 🤩✌🏻)
We talked a bit, and she believes that one issue might be the extended time the arm is sustained (without support). In fact the NC has a more up straight position than, let's say, my own bike (Kawasaki Z1000 SX), so one of these days she'll take my bike to see if the more 'natural' arm position might help on this. I've seen her driving our car (I'm mainly a bike guy) and she seems to be protecting her arm. She used to drive with the and on the shifting stick, and now puts it on her leg, so that might be a factor.
Long story short (sorry for the long post), I'm asking my fellow redditors for opinions on how to mitigate this, as I'm seeing her giving up riding (she already asked me to sell her bike, but I'm still thinking on helping her try to find other alternatives; I know it would break her heart... wouldn't it break yours? mine would surely... =\ ).
I've seen some elastic arms from the shoulder to the wrist, but not sure if it would help in this case, not if it would last long. Also thought that replacing the NC with a 300+cc scooter could help, because of increased vibration filtering (not that sure on this one... I don't like riding scooters, so don't have much experience to compare; she doesn't quite like scooters, but hey... two wheels are two wheels, and in my book a scooter is a bike also (I know some of you don't agree 😁). 🤷🏻‍♂️
Thanks in advance for your answers 👍

2024.05.17 09:29 Ghuasapp flexible travel (health) insurance for 6-12 month south america trip

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for good health insurance for my upcoming trip to South America. My problem is that I only have a one-way flight and don't yet know how much time I will spend there. It could be anything from 6 moths to a year. Ideally, I'm looking for insurance that can easily be extended on a monthly basis.
I will cover the first three months with the insurance from my credit card (N26 You), which only covers trips with a maximum length of three months. After that, I'm looking for flexible options to cover the remaining months.
Does anyone know if something like that exists, and what would some good providers be?
Btw, I'm Italian, so that might limit some of the options.
Thanks for your help!

2024.05.17 09:13 Ok-Noise-5559 Is there a way to legally protect my business from the Traveller community? (Northern Ireland)

EDIT: Title should have read "members of the Traveller community"
I run a public business in Northern Ireland. It's in the entertainment sector. I have received a request from members of the Traveller community to book my venue on a certain date.
I am familiar with three other operators of similar businesses in the country who have recently had their premises booked by large Traveller communities. Their businesses were completely destroyed and rendered inoperable for a few weeks while repairs were made. In addition, everything that wasn't nailed down was taken. Entire stocks of alcohol, chairs, cushions.
I have spoken with my insurance company over the phone to get their advice. They have stated that I must take reasonable precautions to protect my property from people who I know would harm it, and that if I don't, my insurance won't be valid. I've confirmed this as a term of my policy.
What actions can I reasonably take right now? I know you can't refuse service to someone given their ethnic background, but I can't afford to be put out of business right now. There are weddings coming up as well and if I lost two or three weeks of those I'd be facing closure.

2024.05.17 08:47 palmosea AITA for expecting to have driving help when I was younger?

So basically, I was in University for 2 years. I got an associates and ended up dropping out due to depression, burnout, and lack of financial resources. I had saved up all my money for use in a surgery that my insurance was refusing to cover. I was working the best paying jobs for my lack of skills, with no car. This was a batista for around 18/hr and an overnight stocker at for 17/hr. Both jobs were 3 hours away on a bus (20 minutes drive under any other circumstances). I had to sleep at my Starbucks job because the busses did not operate at the time I got off.
Before I started working these jobs and the health situation and all that, I had enough money to downpay a car. With all things considered, I now think moving w/ no car is impossible in most of Florida. 18-20 at the time of moving out, but no license or driving experience.
This fatigue I was experiencing from having to travel so many hours for basic resources (medicine, my job, and an affordable supermarket) with the poor results of my surgery really combined into a nasty mix and I didn't feel like I could do it anymore. I was risking my physical health and compromising my classes for work and to afford things such as textbooks and rent. And due to my financial aid situation, I needed to take a lot of classes every semester to qualify. And I would lose student housing if the semester was taken off.
My family home is on a highway. No one I've ever met would have been willing to let me or any of their friends practice driving their car, under any circumstances. When I was 16-18, everything was shut down due to covid. I was taking driver's Ed and the day I was going to get my license, school shut down. Driving schools shut down as well. One even took money and never refunded it. I spent my last 2 years of high school in lockdown, mostly by myself, because my brother had moved out and I was terrified of getting people sick..
This left the only people I had to supplement this resource being parents. So I had regularly asked them around this age, and the answer was no. It was their only car and they didn't want me to touch it.
The incongruence is that my brother was allowed to when he was 16. To the point they ended up giving him a car. My brother drove on highways when he was 16 with their car vs. Me just wanting to practice on empty parking lots when i was 18, and no one was on the road for miles during lockdown. When I asked them about it, in this way, they were pretty offended about it and said I should have just gotten the license and training on my own. Even when I tell them why that was impossible at the time. Whenever I ask questions like this, they go on a rant to my brother about how I'm selfish and expect them to let me have access to these things. And my brother agrees by saying it's their car

2024.05.17 08:02 kookfart $3k loss with travel insurance

My wife and myself had fully paid for flights and accommodation to Vanuatu for a friends wedding however the day before we were set to leave the airline went into voluntary liquidation. We had paid for insurance but they have a policy stating they will not pay in the case of an airline going into financial hardship which puts us 3k in the hole with what seems like no chance of getting any money recovered. Has anyone been in any situations like this before? Or have any ideas on recovering any sort of cost?

2024.05.17 06:58 005314702defnotme Should I use settlement money to pay for grad school or take out loans?

I am about to go into a graduate program for medicine that in the end will cost about ~213k total (tuition is 54k per year and the program is 2.5 years). Once I graduate I will be making ~170-250k a year or more if I travel etc. Anyway, I will receive a settlement amount from a previous injury that could help me out a lot and is not taxable. I just filed my FAFSA and FAA form and it was processed before I will be cut a check from the settlement. My issue now is to figure out if I should 1) burn through that and then take out loans …. an issue I see with this is that next year will FAFSA not let me take out as much loans because I have to report this settlement amount to them?
2) take out loans and invest all the money for a year, use it until it’s gone and then take out more loans if I need to
3) figure out a way to not have to disclose this money (legally) and invest it and then just take out loans and use all that to pay off loans when I get out of school. … idk if this is even a thing that would work but my dad said he would open up another investment account and I could give it to him without that money touching my accounts. Then I could take out the max amount of federal loans and he would give the money back once I’m well out of school and want to buy a house. (He would have a lawyer write up a document and get it notarized ensuring that all this money would go to me in the future… also I’m his POA)
I am also wondering if the interest accrued with these loans will be more or less than the amount I could make investing this amount over time. If it is then I should just spend it first. If it isn’t I will try to take out loans and go that route.
Also, how much of a disadvantage will I be at next year if the government/FAFSA takes into account ~100k hitting my account this year right after I take out loans this year?
I am consulting my injury lawyer and my financial advisor is consulting his lawyer. I will also talk to the guy that does my taxes and the financial aid department at my school within the coming weeks. I just want to know if any of you have an opinion and what your justification is for it. I don’t want to do anything completely illegal but some loopholes might be nice since what I have read is that only a few things you don’t have to disclose to fafsa like your family home, retirement, vehicle, and life insurance.
Thanks! - a soon to be broke student

2024.05.17 06:40 Mawrizard [SPOILERS] FF1 Plot Discussion

I just finished the first game with the Pixel Remaster. Chaos was hell. Now that I'm finished though, I know the complete plot of the game! I did not expect time travel to play a part. I thought it was just going to be a generic fantasy plot where you restore the crystals and save the world.
One thing I can't really get my head around, though, is Garland. The time loop had to have started somewhere. The fiends send him back in time so he can send them into the future and this somehow makes him immortal? If they need to be in the future to send him back, how did the time loop start at all? If he becomes Chaos, why does he appear as a normal guy with a background as a noble knight every time?
My theory is that the fiends existed before Chaos. They manipulated Garland into his downfall and and sent him back in time to become Chaos and send them into the future to Kickstart their fucking things up parade, since the people note that the calamity seems to be happening ahead of schedule. The reason I believe we don't see or hear about Chaos in the present is because, presumably, the Warriors of Light in the past defeat Chaos. Including the present Garland gives them insurance because sending him back ensures that he can be reborn endlessly and essentially have endless retries, which in turn gives the fiends endless retries. I don't think Garland remembers these things each time, as the ending text scroll says that he awaits you, implying that whatever set him on his dark path (most likely interference by the fiends) never happened and he stayed a good guy.
There's also the people who speak a weird language who say that memories can be transferred, so maybe the fiends transfer Chaos Garland memories to present new Garland? I have no idea. My theory has a bunch of holes in it and I can't find answers to my questions so I thought I'd post it here and see what other people think or have found. I read the wiki for the game and the wiki on Garland and nothing seemed to touch on it.

2024.05.17 05:44 CreamyLikeADip Is it safe to fly 12hrs one week after broken toe surgery? (39m, 170lbs)

I broke my second toe while traveling, and the surgery required two pins. I’m hoping to fly home roughly 8 days after the surgery, so I can go see my American medical team and use my insurance. The doctor told me I would be OK to fly after five days, but I am hoping to get more insight from the experts here, as I would imagine that elevating my foot will be quite difficult on such a long flight. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

35m, work in digital marketing/comms
My financial background: Income: 3800 (bi weekly, before tax) Take home: 2350 (biweekly, after tax, insurance, pension and other employer deductions) I budget an income of 4700/month (since pay is biweekly there are two extra pay periods a year) My partner makes about 2400 a month and almost all of that goes to pay back international student loans (long story there I won't get into, but basically assume her income is nil) My side hustle brings in 3k after taxes (but it is really wearing me down with the job and I think I may have to drop it soon).
My balance sheet:
I am late to FIRE, wish I started earlier. I spent way too much on a master's that didn't really improve my earnings (I don't think). Want to Coast FIRE at 40. I am super frugal and think about money and savings and investments a lot. I'd like to shift the gears down and relax a bit, travel more, dine out more, but so obsessed with saving every dollar I can. Wish I could supercharge my nest egg somehow (lotto win, fine art heist) and slow down a bit. Any feedback?

2024.05.17 05:15 Elegant_Release9004 One Month Review of Playa Flamingo and Potrero

We are just wrapping up a month (April 19th to May 18th) in Playa Flamingo. We had a great time, and did less than 10% of what we had bookmarked before arriving, but that’s a good thing and just enjoyed a Pura Vida life for a few weeks. This experience is applicable if you’re staying in Brasilito, Conchal, Flamingo, or Potrero.
I hope it helps! Have a great trip!
