LONDON – Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel has led a $10 million seed funding round into Berlin-based "InsurTech" startup Coya. Thiel's fund Valar Ventures led the round, which also included funding from e.ventures, and La Famiglia, a European venture capital fund backed by entrepreneurs. The investment is one of the biggest "seed funding" rounds in Germany. Seed funding is the early stage of investment meant to give entrepreneurs enough cash to build their idea. Coya was only founded last year.
