Overview

CoverWallet offers a B2B platform that provides small businesses with real-time quoting, underwriting, binding, billing, and servicing to buy and manage commercial insurance online. The company launched in 2016 and is based in New York. CoverWallet extended its U.S. platform to Europe through a commercial partnership with Zurich and currently has the platform live in Spain, with plans to expand to other European countries with Zurich. The platform is used by carriers — Hanover Group was the first U.S. carrier to use it for agents — and Zurich leverages the platform to sell policies directly to small businesses online. CoverWallet reported substantial momentum, having surpassed 800% annual revenue growth in the prior year. As of October 2017 the company had raised an $18.5 million Series B and more than $30 million in total funding from investors including Union Square Ventures, Index Ventures, Two Sigma, Foundation Capital, and Starr Companies.

The company is actively disrupting the roughly $100 billion small-business insurance market and has garnered industry recognition, including Benzinga's 2017 Best Insurtech Solution and a nod from Entrepreneur Magazine. Financially, CoverWallet has secured over $30 million in venture capital to date, including the newly announced round. The company plans to use the new funding to build core technology, expand partnerships, and scale operations to meet growing demand.
