Have you thought about name conflicts with lemonade insurance? Both you and them are financial products? Do you have prior claim in the US and can go after them? If not, then you may want to look into any potential issues there early rather than later.

I first though Lemonade insurance had decided to diversify their offers. So definitely a name clash.

Same. In fact, Lemonade has a charity component and here is highlighting a project they did in Africa. https://socialfintech.org/lemonade-b-corp-insurtech/ That site is focused on "FinTech" too.

Considered. Certainly something to keep an eye on but we are still miles apart with our offerings.

Good to hear. I’m not an expert on the topic, but seeing what some companies lawyers do like backcountry.com made me a bit concerned for you. backcountry.com was really without merit, just more lawyers. Backcountry.com even went after coffee shops with the word, a totally unrelated area.
