}}Policygenius, branded as Policygenius, is an online insurance sale company that was founded in 2014 by two former McKinsey consultants,[1] Jennifer Fitzgerald and Francois de Lame.[2]

Policygenius clients have access to advice through the company's insurance quoting platform. The platform provides personalized quotes, as well as side-by-side comparison of insurance policies from insurance providers.

History

Policygenius officially launched in July 2014 by co-founders Jennifer Fitzgerald and Francois de Lame.[3] Leveraging their multi-product platform,[4] consumers are able to review advice,[5] research and compare quotes for life, long-term disability, renters and pet insurance.

As McKinsey consultants, Fitzgerald and de Lame advised insurance companies on growth and marketing.[6] They quickly noticed a pattern: all of the companies struggled with how to engage online with self-directed consumers.

Funding

Policygenius was part of the FirstGrowth Winter 2013 batch. In July 2014, Policygenius announced the completion of a seed round[7] with investors Brendan Wallace, Paul Arnold, Ravi Sarma and Pen King.

The company raised its Series A in June 2015, about a year after graduating FirstGrowth. The $5.3 million round[8] included investments from Karlin Ventures, Susa Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, Transamerica Ventures and AXA Strategic Ventures. The round was aimed to expand marketing efforts and target new channels.

The company raised a $15 million Series B[9] announced on January 14, 2016 from returning investors Karlin Ventures and Susa Ventures, and new investor Revolution Ventures led by Steve Case, former CEO of AOL.

The company raised a $30 million Series C [10] announced on March 24, 2017 from existing investors and new lead investor Norwest Venture Partners.
