History

In that time, Accelerant raised over $340M in funding and later went public in 2025 through a $724M IPO on the NYSE, debuting at a $6.4B valuation.

About
Accelerant

Accelerant is a data-fueled insurance platform that redefines how risk is exchanged. Its value proposition is powerful but complex — requiring clear, compelling communication to engage brokers, partners, investors, and clients across the U.S. and Europe.




The
Challenge


1. Simplify their innovative insurtech model for multiple audiences.

2. Attract investment during key fundraising rounds.

3. Onboard new partners and members quickly.




Our
Solution

To meet these needs, Yum Yum Videos created a series of 9 explainer videos between 2021 and 2024.

These ranged from introductions explaining who they are, to pieces focused on investors, new members, and addressing specific industry pain points.

What began as a single project quickly evolved into a long-term collaboration, with Accelerant returning to Yum Yum Videos for new productions as their needs expanded.





Media
Cover

Accelerant’s IPO and rapid growth were widely covered by leading global media outlets. From Reuters and the Wall Street Journal to CNBC and the Financial Times, the company’s story gained international attention, with our videos even included in Silicon Valley Invest Club’s coverage (100K+ subscribers) of Accelerant’s unicorn journey.

Why
It Worked

From strategy to execution, every detail was designed to turn complexity into clarity.

1. Clarity at scale – Breaking down complex insurtech concepts into simple, visual stories.

2. Consistency over time – Nine productions over three years, all aligned under one brand voice.

3. Versatility – Videos tailored for investors, members, and partners across multiple contexts.

4. Strategic storytelling – Videos designed to support fundraising, onboarding, and long-term growth.

Our
Approach &
Creative Design

To make Accelerant’s complex model accessible, we designed videos that were clear, modern, and easy to understand.



Simplicity

Complex ideas were transformed into simple visual stories that anyone could follow in seconds.



Design

Clean shapes, smooth motion, and minimal character use kept the focus on the core message.



Colors

Accelerant’s brand palette (blue, cyan, magenta) was combined with gradients, light gray, and white backgrounds to achieve a fresh, minimal look.



Tone

Trustworthy and sophisticated, reinforcing credibility with clients, partners, and investors alike.
