The round was led by Ribbit Capital and SVB Financial Group, the parent company of Silicon Valley Bank, with participation from Y Combinator, Index Ventures, and 500 Startups.
The company intends to use the funds to launch in more states in the coming months, expand its product offerings, and build out its team.
Led by Sam Hodges, CEO, and Travis Hedge, vice president of business development, Vouch Insurance has just launched its proprietary insurance products and risk assessment tools designed specifically for high growth companies.
