Sotera is an Insurtech start-up that uses AI and a proprietary risk algorithm to evaluate the risk of collections to improve how they are insured. Sotera was founded by two archaeologists by training, and spun out of the University of Cambridge. Sotera is based at Lloyds of London and works with some of the leading Fine Art & Specie and Museums & Collections insurers in the UK market.

Additionally, Sotera is starting a non-profit that will deploy their core technology as a toolkit to protect at-risk heritage and will work alongside heritage organisations. We are working with the Oriental Museum in Durham, and recently used our technology to analyse their collection from a risk perspective. We are looking to connect with museums interested in analysing their collections for a better understanding of risk and insurance needs.
