Softbank Group Corp. will invest $120 million into home insurance startup Lemonade Inc., leading the Series C funding round with participation from other investors.
"By combining big data and AI with a seamless user experience, Lemonade is truly revolutionizing the insurance industry," said Thevenon, a senior investment professional within the SoftBank Group.
Based in New York, Lemonade is a digital insurer company that uses artificial intelligence, behavioral economics and chatbots to reduce paperwork and the time required to process insurance claims.
Launched in 2016, Lemonade has acquired licenses in 25 states and is offering its products via real estate agencies, eCommerce websites and apps.
"Growth has been in excess of our expectations since our last round," co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Schreiber, said in an interview. “We’ll end this year around 90,000 customers, and our target for the year was 13,000," he added.
Lemonade's other investors include Aleph, Allianz, General Catalyst, GV (Google Ventures), Sequoia Capital, Sound Ventures, Thrive Capital, Tusk Ventures and XL Innovate.
