Dr. Viktor Becher
Insurtech Founder and Blockchain Expert
About Me
I'm Co-Founder & COO of the insurtech startup Getsurance. We're building digital life insurance products with automatic underwriting and innovative robo advisor technology. Before founding Getsurance, I worked as a Research Engineer for Siemens and as a Securities Trader specialized in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
My expertise in finance covers the full range of financial products, including stocks, bonds, options, futures, fiat currencies and blockchain-powered cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.
I'm a Certified Insurance Professional (IHK), I hold an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Hagen and a PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Hamburg.
