Insurtech Startup Ensurem Secures Strategic $12.25 Million Investment from A-CAP
Largo, FL (PRWEB) October 02, 2017 -- Ensurem, LLC, an innovative technology and digital marketing platform dedicated to simplifying the process of buying insurance, announced today a $12.25 million capital commitment from and partnership with an affiliate of A-CAP, a New York City-based insurance holding company specializing in life and health insurance and related services.
This funding follows a successful angel investment round of $1.7 million led by AngelRush, a San Francisco-based investment firm that uses its proprietary direct-to-consumer digital engagement platform to empower partner companies.
A-CAP is an industry-leading financial platform that owns multiple insurance and financial businesses. A-CAP’s significant capital commitment will help Ensurem expand its capabilities in four main areas:
- Digital storefront where consumers can easily research, shop and purchase life insurance policies, supplemental health coverage, ‘living insurance’, and other insurance-related products.
- Digital customer acquisition technology and expertise.
- Proprietary product platform used in the development of new insurance products for direct-to-consumer sales.
- Third-party administrative services specializing in straight-through processing, providing insurance companies full back-office support in collaboration with Secure Administrative Solutions (SAS), A-CAP’s third-party administrator affiliate.
A-CAP’s insurance capabilities, combined with the digital marketing expertise of AngelRush and Ensurem’s own team of insurance and technology experts, will advance the company’s robust direct-to-consumer insurance platform.
“Our strategic partnership with A-CAP grants us access to third-party administration (TPA) services, reinsurance capabilities, and a wealth of knowledge in the insurance carrier space, all of which will help us meet our mission of providing consumers with a consolidated resource to learn about and secure life insurance and supplemental health-related protection online,” said David Rich, CEO and founder of Ensurem.
“Daily advancements in technology are changing consumer expectations of the insurance-buying process,” said Kenneth King, CEO of A-CAP. “The Insurtech space needs innovation and disruption to meet these growing consumer demands and we are confident that Ensurem can deliver an exceptional insurance-buying experience.”
