NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Policygenius, the
leading digital insurance marketplace, was named to the second
annual CB Insights Fintech 250 list, a prestigious group of
emerging private companies working on groundbreaking financial
technology.
The CB Insights research team selected the Fintech 250 companies
based on several factors including data submitted by each company
as well as a Mosaic Score. The Mosaic Score, based on CB Insights'
algorithm, measures the overall health and growth potential of
private companies. There were 113 new companies introduced to the
2018 Fintech 250 list.
Jennifer Fitzgerald started
Policygenius in 2014 with her co-founder, Francois de Lame. They saw the pain points of
old school insurance models and wanted to make it easy for
consumers to get the insurance they need, along with the education
and confidence in their decisions, so they started
Policygenius.
"We started as two people with an idea and are now an actual
company with more than 130 employees, all happening in just a few
short years. That shows our brand and brand promise have really
resonated with consumers, which has been so rewarding for us,"
Fitzgerald said. "We're honored to receive this recognition as one
of the leading tech companies in the insurance space."
