What became of it
Reviewed · Low confidence · Last verified 2026-10-17
As catalogued
wefox Group subsidiary offering insurers and distributors API products covering the quote-bind-issue lifecycle, so carriers and digital sales channels could connect and quote in real time.
2026 reality
No standalone Koble offer exists: koble.io does not resolve (DNS lookup failed, 2026-10-17), and Coverager's company database lists Koble as inactive and rebranded to wefox in March 2021. Parent wefox restructured in 2024-2025 (exit from Germany including closure of tech centres; sale of the Liechtenstein carrier wefox Insurance AG and two Italian companies) and on 7 July 2025 announced EUR 151m in funding to develop its asset-light MGA and distribution businesses, citing Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
Launched by the Berlin-based wefox Group as an API distribution platform; according to Coverager's database it was folded into the wefox brand in March 2021. Whether its API capability survived wefox's 2024-2025 restructuring is not documented.
the separate brand was likely retired as wefox consolidated its platform under one name; not confirmed by an official source.
an early example of an insurtech group spinning out its distribution APIs as a B2B product; no distinct 2026 relevance.
Third taxonomy
REVIEW · Verified the July 2025 EUR 151m wefox funding and carrier sale (Crowdfund Insider) and the 2024 Germany exit (Versicherungsbote/deutsche-startups.de); removed the unverified 'Spanish and French technology hubs' detail. The Koble rebrand still rests on a database entry only, so status stays REVIEWED/low.
