Bdeo is a Spanish AI technology company specializing in Visual Intelligence—proprietary computer vision algorithms that automate damage assessment for motor, home insurance, and fleet management using smartphone-captured images and videos.[1][2][3][5] It serves over 60 insurers and fleet companies across more than 25-30 countries, solving slow, manual underwriting and claims processes by enabling real-time inspections in minutes, reducing handling time from weeks to days, cutting costs by up to 70%, and boosting fraud detection by 15%.[2][4][5] With 63 employees and $16.1 million in revenue, Bdeo demonstrates strong growth momentum, including integrations like the Guidewire Marketplace app and expansions into property claims and fleets.[1][5]
Bdeo was founded in 2017 by Julio Pernia Aznar and Manuel Moreno, software veterans in the insurance sector who identified that ~70% of claims were minor and ripe for tech automation rather than physical inspections.[2][4] Their insight sparked a video-based assessment tool using geolocalized photos and videos for remote, real-time vehicle and property damage evaluation.[1][2] Early traction came from motor insurance, leading to expansions into home insurance (FNOL digitization for glass/damp damage) and fleet management for leasing, renting, and car-sharing.[2] In 2019, Ruth Puente joined as a co-founder, strengthening operations; accelerator programs like Santalucía Impulsa fueled scaling from startup to international scaleup with 70+ clients.[4]
Bdeo rides the AI-driven insurtech wave, leveraging Visual Intelligence to digitize a traditionally manual $6 trillion global insurance industry amid rising smartphone penetration and demand for frictionless digital experiences.[1][3] Timing aligns with post-pandemic shifts to remote processes, regulatory pushes for efficiency, and fleet growth in mobility-as-a-service; market forces like cost pressures and fraud (costing insurers billions) favor its automation.[2][5] By partnering with giants like Guidewire and expanding to Europe, LatAm, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East, Bdeo influences the ecosystem—accelerating adoption of computer vision in claims, improving unit economics, and setting standards for modular AI in underwriting and fleets.[1][4]
Bdeo is poised to solidify as a global leader in insurance Visual Intelligence, targeting deeper penetration in fleets and property while pursuing world-scale expansion through alliances and innovations like smart repairs.[3][4] Trends like AI ubiquity, multimodal data (video+images), and insurtech consolidation will propel growth, potentially doubling clients amid rising demand for cost-efficient, customer-centric tools. Its evolution from video pioneer to comprehensive platform positions it to reshape industry trust and operations—echoing its founding mission to disrupt motor and home insurance with tech that truly changes the game.[1][3]
Bdeo has raised $8.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $8.0M Series B in June 2023.
