Ceto Secures $4.8M to Enhance Maritime Insurance with AI
Ceto, a maritime AI startup, has secured $4.8 million in funding to expand its data-driven insurance product, announced in a press release. The funding round was led by Dynamo Ventures, with participation from Howden Ventures, Signal Ventures, and Motion Ventures.
Ceto's platform captures and analyzes high-frequency data from commercial ships to enhance insurance risk selection, reduce machinery failures, and improve fuel efficiency. This data is delivered through an integrated dashboard, offering a connected insurance product supported by leading global insurers. The company's clients include a diverse range of shipping companies, from a major Japanese operator to a mid-sized Singapore-based firm.
The newly acquired funds will support Ceto's global expansion, including scaling its engineering, operations, and sales teams. Additionally, Ceto has appointed Bob Clarkson as Chief Underwriting Officer to deepen its expertise in insurance and risk management. Clarkson brings over 30 years of experience in marine insurance, having led roles in underwriting and claims management.
