Why is it targeting digital nomads? I know they are underserved in this area (and many others), but I would trust more a normal insurance, with a strong foot in my country, but offers an extended plan to digital nomad. Off-topic: Would you mind to share who made the illustrations of your website? I really love it!
It was meeeeee (the guy who illustrated it)
From stories online and experiences of others, it also seems that a lot of it is about maintaining emotional health when away from home for a while. I wonder if you’ve thought through providing access to counseling services, etc. In other words, safety net in terms of well being?

Targeting digital nomads because we are that ourselves, so we know what isn't working, and so can make a better product. We aren't innovating on the financing though. We have a Japanese giant as insurance partner, and it's underwritten at Lloyd's. We are planning to target freelancers and entrepreneurs more generally, with our coming series of products. They will all be global though. This is just the first step. The…
I’m exploring digital nomading from the US. I take it that there are other (perhaps more expensive ) providers that offer preventative care?

Yes the second biggest problems nomads cited in our surveys was loneliness / being disconnected from relationships when moving often. One thing we are doing to address this now is to build a community, with social events for our users. I think it sounds like an interesting idea to consider adding counseling services though. We haven't considered it before, but we will take a look at it. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I am now in "stationary" mode, but I suffered in the past when I was in nomad-mode. I think there are a lot of things to be done in this space. I wish all the best for your startup. I will be following.
This is great. I just flew out of the States and wished I saw this option. Currently bought IMG patriot travel insurance. Cheaper than world nomads but not for the adventurous.

Great to hear! I'm Sarah (co-founder / CTO) : We're unable to offer coverage in Iran and North Korea. ETA: We definitely cover your situation, unless you head to those countries.
Ok, great. Where can I view the list of providers? It's mentioned in the FAQ but I was not able to see it on the homepage.
To OP: please add an easy way to see providers from the home page without having to enter personal information!
