Title: Qoala's Series C Funding: A Step Towards Financial Inclusion
In a world where financial inclusion is still a distant dream for many, Qoala’s recent Series C funding of USD 47 million is a ray of hope. The funding round was led by PayPal Ventures and MassMutual Ventures, with participation from MUFG Innovation Partners, Ohana Holdings, Flourish Ventures, Eurazeo, and AppWorks. This investment is a testament to Qoala’s mission of democratizing insurance and driving financial inclusion across Southeast Asia.
