Laka

Who We Are

Founded in 2017, Laka is a pioneering insurance provider with a mission to transform the industry by putting people first. Built around the power of community, we connect passionate cyclists to form a collective, sharing the costs of protecting their bikes and other assets. Headquartered in the UK, we've expanded our reach across Europe, supported by a passionate team of over 70 Lakanauts and a progressive hybrid working model that prioritizes work-life balance.

Our approach challenges traditional insurance by creating a fairer, more transparent system where members benefit from collective responsibility. We're not just another insurance company—we're a community of like-minded individuals working together to protect what matters most.

What We Do

Laka delivers a fresh take on insurance with a unique collective model where members fairly share costs based on actual claims. From fast, hassle-free claims processing to transparent pricing, we ensure our customers experience the benefits of community-driven insurance. Our services cater to individual cycling enthusiasts and commercial last-mile businesses, and we're actively broadening our offerings to revolutionize the insurance landscape.

Our innovative approach means no hidden fees, no inflated premiums, and no complicated small print. Members only pay their share of actual claims plus a small fixed fee, creating a system that rewards the collective for taking care of their equipment and each other.

Working at Laka

At Laka, we value boldness, innovation, and teamwork. We celebrate our Lakanauts' differences and their relentless drive to rewrite insurance rules. Our hybrid working environment spans London, Bristol, and Amsterdam, offering flexibility and collaboration opportunities that fit around your life, not the other way around.

We support our employees' well-being and growth while fostering an inclusive culture where everyone belongs. Whether you're passionate about cycling, technology, customer service, or transforming traditional industries, you'll find a home at Laka where your contributions make a real difference to our community of members.
